BNCMC Trains Civic Staff In CPR For Emergencies
The city corporation in Bhiwandi taught its workers how to perform CPR.
CPR can help someone who has a cardiac emergency before medical professionals arrive.
Trainers explained how to recognise an emergency and check the person.
They also showed participants how to give chest compressions safely.
The workers then practised CPR themselves with guidance from trainers.
Officials said quick action during the first few minutes can be very important.
The Municipal Commissioner wants similar training to be held in different wards.
The corporation is also considering programmes about first aid, heart health, lifestyle diseases and mental health.
Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation organised CPR training for its officers and employees.
The Medical and Health Department conducted the programme with the Indian Medical Association’s Bhiwandi branch.
Participants learned emergency assessment, chest compressions, CPR procedures and how to seek medical help.
Hands-on practice was conducted under trainer supervision to build confidence and improve technique.
