Imagine walking down the street when someone collapses in front of you. Would you know what to do?
For many, the answer is no. But it doesn’t have to be.
At Emergencies First Aid & Rescue (EFAR), we believe that emergency preparedness starts with education. Since 2002, we’ve trained thousands across Singapore—from parents and teachers to security officers and everyday heroes—to act confidently when it matters most.
Emergencies Don’t Wait—Neither Should You
Medical emergencies can strike anyone, anywhere—at home, at work, or during your daily commute. In many cases, the first few minutes are the most critical. That’s why having someone trained in first aid nearby can mean the difference between life and death.

The Mission: Saving Lives, One Prepared Individual at a Time

But EFAR doesn’t just respond to emergencies. They help prevent crises from escalating by educating the public, training professionals, and supplying life-saving equipment.
