24 Doctors Trained in Life Support
Over 24 doctors from different skill labs in Telangana received special training in a program called National Emergency Life Support (NELS).
This program is run by the central government to help doctors and others learn how to handle emergencies better.
The training happened at the Government Medical College in Siddipet.
The doctors who were trained will now teach others, including medical students and even regular people, how to save lives in emergencies.
There are 22 such skill labs across India, and seven of them are in Telangana.
The goal is to make sure everyone is ready to help in case of an emergency.
24 doctors from seven skill labs in Telangana were trained under the NELS-ToT programme at GMC Siddipet.
The programme aims to strengthen emergency care preparedness and create a nationwide network of trained responders.
The Centre is funding and operating 22 skill labs across India, with seven in Telangana.
