Rescue1122 Empowers Students with Life-Saving Skills Through PM’s CPR Training Program
Under the Prime Minister's CPR Life-saving Training Program, Rescue1122 successfully conducted a comprehensive three-day training session for the final year students across three departments of university of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore: 256 students from the Civil Engineering Department, 286 from the Computer Science Department, and 331 from the Institute of Business & Management.
The training focused on essential life-saving techniques, including First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), fire safety, risk assessment, and community action for disaster response. Participants also learned about forming Community Emergency Response Teams and joined the Rescue Cadet Corps, equipping them with vital skills for emergency situations.
Master Trainer Mr. Ramzan Butt (RTO) led the program, supported by a dedicated team of community coordinators: Mr. Naveed, Mr. Zeeshan, Ms. Tahira, and Mr. Nadeem, and Sub coordinators Mr. Ghulam Murtaza, Mr. Kashif and Mr. Haleem. Their expertise was instrumental in guiding students through the various training stages.
Additionally, a team of assisting volunteers ensured that the training sessions ran smoothly. Their efforts allowed all participants to actively practice and refine the techniques demonstrated.
This initiative not only enhances the skills of future professionals but also fosters a sense of community responsibility among students. Rescue1122 remains committed to equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively in emergencies.
