CPR Training: A Life-Saving Skill

Guhla Cheeka, September 29, 2025 – St. John Ambulance International Association India, Kaithal branch, organized an evaluation session of youth trained in first aid at Arnauli Hospital. Renowned doctor Animesh Bhatla highlighted the importance of proper first aid, saying that CPR Training (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) can save 80 out of 100 patients if given on time.

He emphasized that unconscious patients with stopped breathing or heartbeat must receive CPR immediately, and that every citizen should know this life-saving technique.

Incomplete Knowledge Can Be Dangerous

Dr. Bhatla warned that incomplete or improper training could put a patient’s life at risk. He stressed that CPR must be practiced on mannequins for effective learning and real-life application. He encouraged trained youth to use their skills responsibly for social change and community service.

First Aid: The First Step to Life Safety

Dr. Raja Singh Jhinjar, District Secretary and gold medalist trainer of St. John Ambulance, said that first aid knowledge is the “first step toward life protection.” He announced that first aid training camps will be organized in every town and village of the district to spread awareness and prepare communities for emergencies.

He also thanked Dr. Bhatla for guiding the youth and reiterated that the association, in coordination with the government, will continue to run special programs for public safety and awareness.
