Every life matters, and every journey deserves safety. Today, September 12, 2026, the Philippine Red Cross joins the global community in celebrating World First Aid Day, led by our Safety Services in coordination with Welfare Services.
This yearโs theme, โ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐,โ shines a vital light on ensuring accessible and inclusive first aid education for people on the move, displaced individuals, and our welcoming host communities. By promoting first aid as an essential life skill, we strengthen the capacity of individuals and communities everywhere to respond effectively to emergencies and provide immediate, life-saving assistance when it matters most.
Highlighting the spirit of this year's observance, Philippine Red Cross Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon reminds us, "First aid is more than a technical skill; it is an act of profound humanity that transcends borders and protects the most vulnerable among us." Echoing this commitment, Secretary General Dr. Gwendolyn Pang emphasizes, "By equipping people on the move and our local communities with life-saving knowledge, we build a resilient network of compassion and readiness where no one is left behind."
In solidarity with this mission, all Philippine Red Cross Chapters are mobilized to conduct impactful activities within their respective areas of responsibility. Because compassion knows no borders, and readiness saves lives.
