I am Dr. Rasheed Doad, a Doctor of Public Health (PhD) dedicated to systemic healthcare innovation and the global advancement of prehospital care. My journey in life-saving began over 26 years ago on the front lines as an SCDF Paramedic, an experience that fundamentally shaped my perspective on emergency response and public safety.

The American Heart Association just unveiled the latest 2025 Guidelines for CPR and emergency care. These updates are a game-changer for how we save lives in Singapore and across the region.

By staying at the cutting edge of global science, we ensure that the 500,000+ lifesavers we’ve trained have the most advanced tools to act with confidence. At SFATC, we are committed to making these new standards simple and ready for real-world action.

Let’s keep leading the way in life-saving together!

𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.

I was looking through the archives today and found this. Who remembers this day at VivoCity?

Back in 2010, we set a Singapore Record by training close to 1,000 participants in CPR simultaneously. Seeing people drom different walks of life; parents, students, and professionals, all pushing together with one goal, was one of the most powerful moments of my career.

At SFATC, we’ve always believed that life-saving isn't just for 'experts.' It belongs to the community. Whether you were one of the 1,000 that day or you’ve joined one of our classes since, you are part of a legacy that has now reached over 500,000 lifesavers.

I’d love to hear from you:
Were you there at VivoCity in 2010?
Or have you taken a course with us at our center since then?

Drop a comment below! I’d love to reconnect with the people who make this mission possible.

I’m often asked why I transitioned from being a paramedic with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to pursuing a PhD in Public Health and leading international training organizations.

The answer is simple: I saw a pressing need for a culture that empowers everyday people to save lives.

Over the last 26 years, my journey has taken me from responding to emergency calls to training over 500,000 lifesavers and setting national records at VivoCity. Whether I am leading the team at SFATC in Singapore or expanding our mission through 1 Accelerate in Malaysia, my focus remains on one thing: Public Service.

I created this page to share more than just business updates. I want to share the lessons I’ve learned, from the front lines to the boardroom, about replacing fear with the confidence to act when it matters most.

Thank you for being part of this journey to make our communities safer, one life-saver at a time.
