A nation-wide public awareness programme is being organised by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training on December 6.
CPR means “cardiopulmonary resuscitation”, in which a special technique is used to press the heart muscles to keep the sick person alive before reaching the hospital.
As the cases of heart attack and cardiac arrests cases are increasing in the country, the Union Ministry is organizing this first CPR awareness programme in the country which is being conducted at such a massive level across wide variety of participants.
