Practical Training: Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

About 100 participants, including jawans and officers from the CRPF and Army, members of the Lions and Rotary Club and individual residents of Mount Abu participated in a training programme on CPR conducted at Global Hospital on Sunday, July 18.

We are enormously grateful to Dr Manoj Singh, chief intensivist, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, for conducting the training. Dr Anshul Wadhwa, physician, J Watumull Global Hospital & Research Centre, and Sister Archana, assistant manager - Hospital Promtion Services, organised the event.

CPR is a life-saving technique used in medical emergencies, such as to save a patient who has had a heart attack or nearly drowned to death, to get oxygen to the brain and keep the brain alive until further medical care may be given.
