Lodge Keys No. 297 to organise CPR Training. Aims to train one thousand next 12 months

Lodge Keys No. 297, the primary unit of Freemasonry announced CPR Training.  It will be held on 19th October at 10 am at Goshamahal Baradari Masonic Building.

It will be organised with the support of GMRI Green Health Services. It will be a practical training program for two hours.  Each participant will be trained on a mannequin. Cardiac arrest can happen at anytime, anywhere to anyone. Precaution is the best way to handle it.  Learn CPR and be a CPR BRAND AMBASSADOR.

Just 2% of the population is trained in CPR in India.  It is a very sad state of affairs. Without CPR 92% die before making it to the hospital.  Every minute without CPR survival rate decreases by 10%.  9 in 10 people in cardiac arrest die. But CPR can help improve if performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival said D. Ramchandram, Project Coordinator of "Let The Hearts Beat", a community outreach initiative of Lodge Keys No. 297.

CPR is an essential Life skill and everyone must be trained.

A total of 40 are allowed in this training program. Out of forty 25 poor and first respondents will be trained free of cost. The 25 free participants include first responders such as Cab, auto drivers, watchmen, and street vendors. The remaining 15 participants will be charged a nominal fee. A certificate will be issued at the end of the training program. 

Lodge Keys requests the public at large to nominate their first respondents such as auto, cab drivers, street vendors, and watchmen for free training.

Those interested in participating by paying nominal fee and for more details, please speak to D. Ramchandram, Mobile, 9848042020
