Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca reminded that the Heimlich maneuver, which is applied in cases where the respiratory tract is blocked to prevent breathing, is life-saving. Koca shared a video on how to do the Heimlich maneuver on his social media account. “The Heimlich maneuver is life-saving in cases where the respiratory tract is blocked in a way that prevents breathing. In this critical situation, especially for children, 112 should be called immediately and, if known, the Heimlich maneuver should be applied without delay. This technique is easy enough for most of us to learn. Watch our video, learn and don't be afraid to apply it,” he said.
