National Cardiac Arrest Awareness Campaign Launches in Pune
Imagine someone's heart suddenly stops.
A new campaign wants everyone to learn CPR, which can help save lives.
This campaign, led by doctors and supported by others, will start in Pune.
They want to teach people, from students to shopkeepers, how to perform CPR.
CPR is like giving the heart a jumpstart.
They also want to make machines that shock the heart (AEDs) easier to find.
This will help more people survive cardiac arrest.
