In the partnership between Belgian Red Cross-Flanders (BRC-Fl) and South African Red Cross Society (SARCS), the program 2017-2021 will focus on First Aid (FA). First aid is a priority activity for all Red Cross Societies worldwide, and especially relevant in South Africa, considering its stretched, sub-par health infrastructure and the burden of various communicable and non-communicable diseases. The focus will be on strengthening SARCS as an organization, improving the first aid training quality in commercial and non-commercial first aid and embedding first aid services at community level in 5 provinces (Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Limpopo). The goal will be to contribute to improved health and well-being of the people in the selected provinces by increasing coping mechanism of community members in emergencies and basic health situations. FA Education is a proven cost-effective development intervention, with a cost of 8US$ per disability-adjusted life year averted (DALY), making it one of the cheapest ways to increase public health in developing countries5. Moreover, our program is underpinned by scientific research in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of our intervention. As a result, 72.072 beneficiaries can be reached.
