The certification programme brought together more than 30 participants, including doctors, nurses, and paramedical personnel, who underwent intensive hands-on training in evidence-based cardiac emergency management. The initiative was organized under the banner of the GIMS VIDYA SETU Team in collaboration with the Indian Resuscitation Council Federation (IRCF).

The programme was inaugurated by Dr. (Brig.) Rakesh Gupta, Director, GIMS, who highlighted the critical role of structured emergency response training in modern healthcare. He noted that equipping medical professionals with updated resuscitation skills is essential for improving patient outcomes and ensuring timely intervention during life-threatening emergencies.

The faculty included Dr. Ruchi Singh, Dr. Garima Sinha, Dr. Vinay Kumar, Dr. Debayan Biswas, along with postgraduate residents, who delivered comprehensive theoretical sessions and practical demonstrations based on internationally accepted resuscitation protocols.

The sessions also explained the distinction between Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) and Compression-Only Life Support (COLS), enabling healthcare workers to understand the appropriate response strategies in different emergency scenarios.

A major highlight of the programme was the extensive hands-on practical training. Participants received live demonstrations and supervised practice on the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, and techniques for managing choking victims and sudden cardiac arrest.
