On October 28, the University Emergency Rescue Demonstration Activity, jointly organized by the Shaanxi Red Cross Society and the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education, successfully concluded. Competing against 60 teams from universities across the province, Xi'an Shiyou University (XSYU) stood out with solid first-aid skills and excellent teamwork, winning the First Prize in the team category along with multiple individual honors. This outstanding achievement was strongly supported by the dedicated guidance and contributions of the nursing instructor team from the University Hospital.

Leveraging cooperation with the local Red Cross, the University Hospital has cultivated over 30 certified first-aid instructors and conducted more than 30 training sessions, reaching over 15,000 students and staff. AED units have been installed in over 30 public areas across campus, promoting the concept“that first aid is not an optional skill, but an essential literacy.”

XSYU will further deepen its emergency rescue education reform, expanding training coverage and innovating teaching methods to make first-aid skills a standard competency for more students, contributing to campus health and safety.
