Also, mandatory First Aid sessions in schools would increase health awareness among students and staff.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 "𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲." In Kenya, we are seeing more and more people in their 30s and 40s - breadwinners and parents - suffering from strokes. It is now a leading cause of permanent disability and accounts for about 1 in every 15 deaths in our country. When a stroke hits, every minute wasted is a piece of someone's future lost. It’s not just "fatigue" or "bad luck" — it’s a medical emergency that requires immediate action. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗕.𝗘.𝗙.𝗔.𝗦.𝗧. You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life. Just look for these sudden changes: B - BALANCE: Are they staggering or suddenly dizzy? E - EYES: Is their vision suddenly blurry or "dark" in one eye? F - FACE: Ask them to smile. Does one side of the mouth hang down? A - ARMS: Ask them to lift both hands. Does one side keep falling? S - SPEECH: Are they "heavy-tongued" or talking like they are drunk? T - TIME: Don't wait for them to "rest and feel better." Call for help now. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑪𝒖𝒍𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒕: High blood pressure (Hypertension) is behind 77% of strokes in Kenya. Many of us don’t check our "pressure" until it’s too late. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 "𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒓": If you get them to a hospital within 3 hours, the chance of them walking and talking again is much higher. 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒂𝒙𝒊: If you can, call an ambulance. They can call the hospital ahead of time so the doctors are waiting at the door. Don't ignore the signs. A stroke doesn't fix itself with sleep. #SaveALife #BEFAST

On #WorldFirstAidDay2026, The QuickFix Learning Hub joins the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to highlight a critical reality: *First Aid in Migration Contexts.* Across Kenya and East Africa, thousands of people are on the move every day - from families displaced by severe drought and flash floods in Northern Kenya, to transit workers, everyday travelers, and migrants navigating urban hubs like Nairobi and transit corridors across Kakuma, Garissa, and Busia. Along these journeys, extreme heat exhaustion, severe dehydration, traumatic road casualties, and psychological strain are daily realities. Every second counts, and every person can be a lifesaver.
