YouTube promotes first aid videos to save lives

This content provides a step-by-step guide to emergency situations and is produced by YouTube partners such as the Ministry of Health, Butantan Institute and cutting-edge hospitals such as Albert Einstein, Hakor, Serio Libanes and Osvaldo Cruz.

Watching the video is just a starting point. Therefore, there will be alerts about the importance of communicating with Samo by calling 192. YouTube also ensures that there are no ads in this area or in the middle of the videos.

Before it tossed this content to the most noble sites in its internal research, YouTube performed another technological mission: it labeled material that came from reliable medical sources, which required requesting credentials from hospitals, clinics and doctors who ventured to produce videos.

However, there is a lot of good health information that comes from unlicensed health care providers. But just like when you go to the doctor, you want to know, “Does this person have a license?” Do you know what to do? This is the goal of categorizing this information. This is not intended to discourage anyone else who may produce health information at scale on YouTube

According to YouTube’s director, the initiative is not necessarily a means to attack misinformation about health practices, but it contributes in some way to combating it.
