The National Nurses Association (NNA) has offered to sponsor Jeptoo Jacobeth for further training to enhance her emergency response skills.
Jeptoo, who recently graduated as a nurse, was among the first persons who responded to the tragic Mosop helicopter crash that claimed the lives of six people, including Emurua Dikir MP Johanna Ng’eno.
According to the Nurses’ association, Jeptoo’s response was a powerful reminder of the courage, competence, and humanity that nurses bring to every emergency.
“Jeptoo’s actions reflect not only personal bravery, but the strength of a profession built on service, preparedness, and unwavering commitment to life-saving care, even in the most challenging circumstances,” the association said.
The courses that the association has offered to sponsor the nurse do are Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS).
