Philip Donato
Most of you know Greg’s personal experience and survival following a cardiac arrest. Greg is here today because of the timely first aid he received and timely access to an AED. Survival from a cardiac arrest without AED use prior to ambulance arriving is just 4%. Rate of survival jumps to 30% when an AED is used before arrival by ambulance. I’m keen to see more of these accessible in our communities.
NSW State Member for Orange Phil Donato caught up with Greg Page (of The Wiggles and Heart Foundation).
