Victoria Emergency Unit in conjunction with Mediclinic Victoria hosted their annual Trauma Day event at the Tongaat Sports Centre on Friday, October 17.
Pupils from secondary schools in the area together with their teachers attended the event.
The topic was CPR for Family and Friends. They were educated on the Heimlich maneouver as well as CPR for infants, children and adults.
Head of the Emergency Unit, Dr Sanesha Moodley said it is important for everyone to know how to perform CPR.
“You never know when you are in a situation where CPR will be needed. We hope that everyone went back with a message and can teach it to others at school and home,” said Moodley.
Each pupil received a goodie bag and were treated to lunch.
Questions were also posed at the end of the session and those with correct answers received a prize.
