In late July 2026 Samu‑JP issued a public alert on how to manage choking emergencies, citing the American Heart Association’s 2025 protocol. Earlier, on 31 May 2026, the service’s Permanent Education Nucleus delivered a hands‑on first‑aid training for 75 staff members from three municipal early‑childhood education centers (CMEI Maria da Luz, CMEI Diotilia Guedes and CMEI Ricardo Brindeiro) at the Municipal Administrative Center auditorium in Água Fria. The curriculum covered CPR for adults, children and infants, choking response, fainting, seizures, intoxication and burns, fulfilling Brazil’s Lei Lucas mandate for basic first‑aid instruction in schools and creches. Manager Kalyne Gomes emphasized the importance of the training for educators caring for children aged zero to five, while nurse Ricardo Leite highlighted the need to equip public‑school personnel with emergency‑response skills. A report published on 31 July 2026 reiterated these details, confirming Samu‑JP’s ongoing commitment to improve community preparedness for medical emergencies, especially among vulnerable children.
