On the occasion of Global CPR Month, the College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering at the University of Mosul organized an awareness-raising and practical workshop on first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The workshop was organized by the Rehabilitation, Employment, and Follow-up Unit in cooperation with Al-Nabd Company for Training and Human Resources Development.

The workshop included an explanation of how to respond to medical emergencies, particularly cases involving loss of consciousness and choking, as well as an introduction to the essential steps for providing first aid to injured individuals. Practical exercises were also conducted for students to enhance their skills and equip them with the knowledge necessary to respond to emergency situations effectively and confidently.

This workshop reflects the College’s commitment to promoting health awareness among students, developing their practical emergency response skills, and fostering a culture of initiative and assistance, thereby contributing to saving lives and enhancing safety within the university environment and the wider community.

The workshop contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by raising health awareness and strengthening first aid and CPR skills. It also supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by providing practical learning opportunities that enhance students’ skills and essential life knowledge.
