Millennium Fellowship Project: Not All Samaritans Wear Scrubs.
"Not All Samaritans Wear Scrubs" is a project that is very passionate about equipping everyone, both young and old about the basic skills of first aid.
Over the years, I've observed that a lot of people are very ignorant and know next to nothing about life saving skills neither can they administer any basic first aid in cases of emergency.
There have been countless avoidable cases where accident victims weren't able to make it out alive just because there was no qualified medical personnel around to help or because the wrong first aid was administered.
This is because most people are apathetic towards acquiring these skills as they believe that saving lives is the job of a Doctor. However, saving lives shouldn't only be left to professionals- You don't have to wear hospital scrubs or white coat before you can save the life of a fellow man from the claws of death.
What matters is the compassionate heart of a good Samaritan and the knowledge of first aid.
