“Breathe”: OTP BANK team completed CPR training

22/ 08/ 2025

Before the arrival of doctors, helping a person who has stopped breathing, is experiencing seizures, or has lost consciousness is a real challenge and a stressful situation. To be prepared for such events, employees of OTP BANK JSC completed a one-day Basic Life Support course and acquired skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In particular, they learned how to act in cases of sudden cardiac arrest (clinical death), seizures, and airway obstruction caused by a foreign body (choking). Bank employees were trained in how to properly call emergency services, use a defibrillator, and perform lifesaving procedures in case of choking. All participants received international certificates confirming completion of the course, which certify their readiness to act in critical situations before medical professionals arrive. This training was the second in a series of first aid courses planned at OTP BANK for 2025–2026. The training for the team was conducted by the Rhythm Training Center.
