Two new defibrillators have been gifted to the Whanganui community to improve cardiac arrest survival rates.
They have been installed at Caroline s Boatshed Bar and Eatery and Faith City Church by St John in partnership with ASB and Philips.
St John s Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Report, released on Wednesday, March 10, showed St John Ambulance treated more than 2000 people for a cardiac arrest in the community, with only 31 per cent of those surviving at hospital arrival.
