Did you know?
Every year, over 2,000 people in Aotearoa will have a cardiac arrest outside hospital care, and only 1 person in 10 survives.
The chance of surviving is much higher when they receive immediate help.

The 3 Steps for Life
Calling 111
When you call 111 our call handlers work with you to send the right help for your emergency.
Starting CPR
Doing CPR can keep someone alive until an ambulance arrives with medical help.
Using an AED
An AED can bring the heart back to a natural beating rhythm; using one increases the chance of survival by up to 49 per cent.
