Save-A-Life Initiative

The Save-A-Life Initiative is an ambitious undertaking by Singapore Heart Foundation, in collaboration with the Singapore Civil Defence Force, to improve Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) survival rates.​

Every year, about 3,000 people suffer OHCA in Singapore. On average, only 26.2% of these people survive OHCA, according to a 2019 survey by the Unit for Pre-hospital Emergency Care (UPEC).​

We can change this reality.​

When OHCA is witnessed, starting CPR+AED immediately has led to survival rates as high as 50%! The goal of the Save-A-Life initiative is to raise OHCA survival rates by improving bystander CPR and public AED usage rates.​

The initiative consists of 3 key components:​
1) Alerting volunteers to nearby cardiac arrest cases via the “myResponder” mobile app​
2) Building a National Registry of Publicly Accessible AEDs​
3) Building an Electronic Registry of Members of the Public trained in CPR​
