Bengaluru: The treatment given in the first hour after an accident can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved, and public officials are often ill-equipped to provide emergency care following an accident.
\r\nTo deal with this, the State Health Department has signed a memorandum of understanding with the NGO ALERT (Amenity Lifeline Emergency Response Team), under which the latter will train public servants, including police personnel, traffic wardens, BMTC drivers and ASHA workers, in golden hour care and emergency response. |
