Vadodara: Keeping in mind the importance of knowing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) technique, especially in wake of the recent string of sudden heart failures in the state, a few mosques organized special training sessions soon after Eid-e-Milad prayers were over on Thursday.
The Baroda Muslim Doctors Association (BMDA) has initiated a drive to teach CPR and basic life support training that kicked off on the eve of World Heart Day that coincided with Eid-e-Milad celebrations. BMDA hopes to train one lakh persons in CPR.
BMDA president Dr Mohammed Hussain said the programme started with the registration of mosques for CPR training. “We already have over 50 mosques in the city and Vadodara district registered for the training. We aim to train one lakh persons in CPR,” he said, adding that even the holy Quran mentions that saving one life is equal to saving humanity.
Hussain said that every minute there are 100 deaths from sudden cardiac arrests in the country. “Against this, only two per cent persons know CPR. The crucial intervention in case of a sudden cardiac arrest till an ambulance reaches the spot can prove to be a game changer,” Hussain explained.
On Thursday, the training was offered at six mosques and Darul Uloom, Baroda madrasa in Tandalja area of the city. Principal of the madrasa Mufti Arif Hakim Falahi said that it was for the first time that such a training was held at any madrasa in the city. “We now plan to give more training and certificates as trainers to students. They can teach CPR to more people,” he said. Even women were offered training by the doctors at Gorwa and Navayard. “After the training at the mosque, a separate training was organized for women at different venues,” said Hussain.
He said that the drive to train people in CPR at mosques will continue till Sunday and later, it will be held periodically.
