Mumbai: Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai has announced the launch of a CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training initiative for the people of Navi Mumbai. The initiative aims to train 100,000 people in the city in the skills needed to save lives in emergency situations. The CPR training session will train people to give CPR in a crisis where an individual has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The initial CPR training campaign will run from March 1 to March 31, 2023, and will be held at various locations, including corporate offices, public spaces, and at the hospital itself.
The initiative has been named “The Revive Life Campaign”. The event will target various groups, including corporate workers, residents of various societies, auto-rickshaw drivers, police, firefighters, NMMC workers, NMMT employees, college students, and the public attending events at malls, railway stations, and public gardens.
To achieve this goal, the hospital has established a task force comprising five teams of experts in CPR training. One team will be stationed at the hospital to conduct in-house training sessions, while the others will travel to various locations to offer hands-on training in adult CPR, as well as lectures on infant and child CPR.
The training offered under the “The Revive Life Campaign” initiative is free of cost, and participants are encouraged to sign up in advance to secure their spot.
