A major milestone in emergency preparedness and patient safety was reached when the GITAM Medical Science and Research (GIMSR) Simulation-Based Medical Education (SBME) Unit trained about 900 people as part of its CPR training program, marking a significant step towards becoming a 100% CPR-trained educational institution.

As part of it, its employees from different departments received training in life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedures.

Staff personnel from a variety of positions, including ambulance drivers, staff nurses, technicians, physicians, oxygen plant employees, housekeeping, security, pharmacy, nutrition, hospitality, and patient relations executives (PREs), were given vital life-saving skills via the CPR training program. By providing the training, the organization hopes to guarantee that every employee is equipped to handle medical crises with competence.

The training curriculum was carefully created in accordance with worldwide resuscitation guidelines, with institution-specific improvements to maximize efficiency and practical application, according to Dr. Divya Banna, head of the GIMSR Emergency Medicine Department.

She said that her team of specialists is getting ready to educate an additional 900 staff members in the next few days to improve emergency response skills.

Pro Vice-Chancellor Gitanjali Batmanabane of the university emphasized that the CPR training prepares frontline workers and hospital professionals, who are vital in emergency circumstances. “The institution is committed to its mission of saving lives and is setting a national benchmark in emergency response training,” she said. The institution’s dedication to community welfare and quality in healthcare is further shown by this endeavor, which keeps it at the forefront of medical education and healthcare readiness.
