What is Lifesavers?
Lifesaver is a global initiative uniting healthcare professionals and serving local communities by providing life-saving skills in mosques and Islamic centres.
AIMA has been conducting Lifesaver programs in Australia for several years, witnessing significant community engagement and expansion to reach more rural, regional, and metropolitan locations than ever before.
Muslim Healthcare workers are encouraged to become an AIMA member and join hundreds of volunteers across australia and millions across the globe in the Lifesavers Program.
Bystander CPR
Bystander CPR means CPR performed by someone who is not a healthcare professional. It’s a crucial skill anyone can learn to save lives in emergencies. Immediate action can double or triple a person’s chances of survival, reduce the risk of brain damage, and improve the likelihood of full recovery in sha Allah.
Emergency Response
Develop confidence and knowledge to act quickly and effectively in various life-threatening situations.
AED Training
AED training teaches individuals how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to help someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
AEDs are designed to be user-friendly, with voice prompts and visual instructions to guide the user through the process.
Choking Management
Acquire techniques to assist individuals who are choking, including both adults and infants.
