Restart a Heart Day 2020

16 October 2020

This year in 2020 192 countries are celebrating the 60th Year of CPR apart but together on social media.

In a socially distanced world we are joining with our colleagues around the globe promoting bystander CPR and the Kids Save Lives message on social media. If you are celebrating World Restart a Heart Day we would love to see it.

Friday 16 October is World Restart a Heart Day. This year in 2020 192 countries are celebrating the 60th Year of CPR apart but together on social media.

In a socially distanced world we are joining with our colleagues around the globe promoting bystander CPR and the Kids Save Lives message on social media. If you are celebrating World Restart a Heart Day we would love to see it.

We encourage you to post about how you are celebrating World Restart a Heart Day on social media; make sure to tag us @NZResusCouncil on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and use the hashtags #worldrestartaheart and #restartaheart. Feel free to email me any photos or videos you take in the month of October of your #WorldRestartaHeart activities.

In this campaign we would like to emphasise the message of William Kouwenhoven in 1960 'anyone, anywhere can initiate cardiac resuscitation procedures. All that is needed are two hands'. It only takes two hands to save a life.
