Fortis Hospitals Mumbai Launches 'Har Ghar Hero' CPR Initiative
Fortis Hospitals Mumbai has started a new program called 'Har Ghar Hero' to teach people in Mumbai how to do CPR.
CPR is a way to help someone who is having a heart problem.
The hospital wants every family in Mumbai to have at least one person who knows CPR.
They will work with different groups in the city to teach CPR to as many people as possible.
This way, if someone has a heart emergency, there will be more people who can help before the doctors arrive.
The hospital has already taught CPR to many people and wants to teach even more.
They also want to find out how much people in Mumbai know about CPR so they can make their training better.
Fortis Hospitals Mumbai launched 'Har Ghar Hero', a community-led CPR preparedness movement.
The initiative aims to train 2 lakh Mumbaikars in CPR skills in the coming year.
Fortis Hospitals Mumbai has previously trained 1.5 lakh Mumbaikars in CPR.
The initiative will partner with various civic bodies, corporates, schools, and community groups.
A community perception survey will be conducted to gauge current levels of emergency preparedness among Mumbaikars.
