For a patient in a medical emergency such as cardiac arrest or a road accident, an ambulance driver from a nearby clinic is often the first interface with medical services. However, ambulance drivers in India are hardly equipped with any lifesaving skills that can make a difference of life and death to some patients. \r\nAiming to fill this gap and creating first responders on the city\'s roads, Columbia Asia Hospital, Palam Vihar (Gurgaon) on September 03 organized a first-of-its kind training session to provide Basic Life Saving Skills to ambulance drivers of several of the city\'s private hospitals, clinics and nursing homes that cater to a large section of the local population. |
