KUWAIT CITY, June 10: The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) has received official accreditation from the American Institute for Health and Safety for its first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training programs.

KRCS Vice Chairman Dr. Nasser Al-Tannak told KUNA the accreditation demonstrates the society’s adherence to global training standards for its staff and volunteers. This achievement aligns with KRCS’s strategy to enhance training programs, strengthen international partnerships, and bolster its humanitarian emergency response efforts.
