HYDERABAD: Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday called for massive training programmes to train all the people on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Addressing a special programme on CPR at the Sanskruti Hall of Raj Bhavan here, she said that creating awareness and training more people on CPR would result in saving lives.
The Governor, a doctor, said that colleges and universities should make it mandatory to train students in CPR techniques. “All offices should conduct CPR training sessions to create awareness among the staff members. We are witnessing the death of many people due to sudden cardiac arrest as there are no people who can perform CPR in an emergency,” she added.
Dr Soundararajan appreciated doctors for offering the CPR training session at Raj Bhavan for the police, staff and the Indian Red Cross Society functionaries.
