The Enverga University Student Nurses Association (EUSNA) served as the first aid response team during Intramurals 2025 at Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation, held on November 6 and 7, deploying 34 officers and volunteers across key venues to ensure the safety of athletes, students, and spectators.

Assigned at the Gymnasium, Twin Court, DT Building, USTC, and Swimming Pool, the team delivered immediate medical assistance to participants who sustained minor injuries and experienced physical discomfort during the games.

Responders attended to cases such as sprains, abrasions, muscle cramps, and fatigue. First aid interventions included vital signs monitoring, cold compress application, guided stretching, bandaging, and the use of ointments and liniments.

“The presence of trained responders provided reassurance to everyone involved in the activities,” one volunteer shared, emphasizing the importance of accessible medical support during large-scale events.

Intramural events scheduled for November 8 and 10 were canceled due to the onset of a typhoon to ensure the safety of the university community. Despite the shortened schedule, EUSNA fulfilled its role during the first two days by maintaining readiness and delivering timely care.

The initiative improved overall safety and preparedness during the event. Volunteers demonstrated competence in first aid response, teamwork, and situational awareness while gaining hands-on experience in emergency care.

Athletes and student participants benefited from immediate medical attention, while EUSNA members enhanced their skills and confidence in real-life response situations. The university community also benefited from the added safety measures that supported a secure environment throughout the activities.

The project was supported by the University Medical and Dental Clinic, which provided essential supplies, along with contributions from EUSNA volunteers. No expenses were incurred during the activity.
