Health camp, demo at Purva Graces

If you are living in an apartment complex, saving a life is just a shout away.

Last week, residents of Purva Graces Apartments Owners' Welfare Association, Amrutha Halli, had a chance to pay close attention as doctors from Aster CMI Hospital, Hebbal, demonstrated several ways to save lives through Basic Life Support techniques.

Organised in association with North Bangalore Post, north Bangalore's only resident and community media, the demonstration was followed by an exclusive health camp for residents.

PGAOWA secretary, Govind S. Nair said the BLS activity was an eye-opener for their members and appreciated the doctors for having taken their time out to visit the apartment complex in Amrutha Halli.

Aster CMI Hospital has so far organised several outreach programmes with local residents, school children and office towers on how to tackle emergencies such as cardiac seizure, stroke or accident using Basic Life Support techniques. 

 "The audience were overwhelmed with the activity and took a pledge to manage victims during Emergency. Residents of various age groups who were interested in understating what is an emergency and how it needs to be handled were taught BLS procedures,” a hospital spokesperson said.

This activity was followed by a basic Health screening camp for PGAOA residents to create awareness on healthy lifestyle and its management.
