Cardiac emergencies possess an unpredictable nature, striking at any time and place, where swift action can be the decisive factor between life and death. In acknowledgment of this criticality, the Restart a Heart campaign aims to empower individuals with the essential knowledge and skills to respond confidently during such emergencies, encompassing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator utilization. Through disseminating crucial information and cultivating a culture of responsiveness, our primary objective is to bolster cardiac arrest survival rates within our community. This presentation entails a comprehensive evaluation of the past Restart a Heart campaign initiatives, encompassing face-to-face events, online campaigns, and billboard signage, aimed at gauging their reach and impact in equipping the public with life-saving capabilities.
