Life-Saving Skills for the Community
01
As a community it is our duty to ensure that no lives are lost due to the lack of knowledge or training. This can only be achieved if we train the Community to provide CPR/ First Aid Assistance in times of need. Such skills can come in handy at any time and anywhere. SUCH A SKILL CAN SAVE LIVES.
02
Whether you are a parent, school teacher, student or an office worker, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to provide emergency care. We also face the omnipresent threat of mass casualty incidents like earthquakes, train accidents, flood, terrorist attacks, road accidents and fires. In such cases each of us should be equipped to help our fellow citizens.
Our Aim
To train people of the community and build their confidence to provide primary care for all common medical emergencies.
