News Desk, News Nation 360 : Medica Superspecialty Hospital, a member of the Manipal Hospital group, partnered with the Indian Museum to hold a Mega CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) Training Program at the historic Indian Museum courtyard, marking a key milestone in building a community prepared for CPR. Dr Indranil Das, Head of Emergency at Medica Superspecialty Hospital and a graduate of the International Visitorship Leadership Programme (IVLP) in the USA, oversaw the CPR training sessions, which began at 11 a.m. Volunteers from several well-known institutions participated in the sessions, including Douglas Memorial School, St Sebastian's School, Annex College, Aditya Academy Senior Secondary, Dum Dum, Aditya Academy Secondary, Barasat, St. Xaviers' High School, Howrah, and an NGO named Sapgachi Humanity for you and Me (HUM). The Japanese Consul General, Nakagawa Koichi, was one of the distinguished Chief Guests who graciously attended the ceremony and supported this important cause. Medica Superspecialty Hospital, a member of the Manipal Hospital group, has already educated more
than 2,000 volunteers throughout Kolkata as part of its ongoing goal to provide life-saving education. The Indian Museum's charming courtyard, which combines history and promise, served as an inspiring setting for the training today as volunteers came together in support of a shared goal. By joining the movement, 200 volunteers improved their emergency response skills and became certified in CPR. Dr. Ayanabh Debgupta, Regional Chief Operating Officer, Regional Chief Operating Officer, Manipal Hospitals (East), stated that Nearly half of heart attack victims in India reach hospitals 400 minutes after the onset of symptoms, which is significantly longer than the recommended 30-minute window. According to experts, the harm cannot be undone if assistance is not received within eighteen minutes following cardiac arrest. CPR instruction might be helpful in this situation by offering prompt assistance until relief comes. Throughout the year, we have already held several CPR training sessions in corporate offices, schools, colleges, and other establishments, and they want to continue doing so. They want to make sure that people who receive their training are also training their loved ones. They will be able to develop CPR SMART citizens in their community as a result.
