Samariterverein oberes Kiesental

The Upper Kiesental Samaritan Association is a community dedicated to commitment and helpfulness. The association strengthens first aid and medical support in the region. It is present at emergencies, local events, and training courses. Members train regularly to keep their first aid knowledge up to date. They learn to recognize symptoms of illness, request medical assistance, and provide care and support to patients. The association offers various first aid courses, including basic emergency care, the BLS-AED complete course, and special courses for seniors. The association also organizes blood drives at several locations. It operates a medical equipment depot in Zäziwil, where aids such as wheelchairs, walking aids, and positioning cushions can be borrowed. The target group for the courses is the population of the surrounding communities, including those obtaining their driver's licenses. Association members benefit from regular training and a friendly atmosphere with social events.
