People performing CPR on dummies as part of 3 steps for life

MAS and Hato Hone St John

MAS and Hato Hone St John have joined forces to empower New Zealanders with vital life-saving skills. Through our support of the free 3 Steps for Life training programme and the nationwide Shocktober campaign, we're helping thousands of Kiwis learn how to respond to an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Together, we aim to reach over 30,000 people annually with these essential skills, strengthening communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to protecting and uplifting the wellbeing of New Zealanders. MAS, founded by doctors in 1921, continues to support professionals in the medical and other key sectors, while Hato Hone St John has been a trusted part of New Zealand's health infrastructure for over 130 years. By combining our efforts, we're building a stronger, more resilient Aotearoa New Zealand—one heartbeat at a time.
