Basic Life Support and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) awareness and training program
Kauvery Hospital had donated AED devices to Southern Railway in the past to strengthen emergency response preparedness at the railway station.
The training program will equip the railway staff to effectively use AEDs to provide immediate assistance during critical medical situations.
The program was led by Senior Doctor, Emergency Medicine, who provided practical training and demonstrations on the usage of AED machines and Basic Life Support techniques during emergency situations.
The session focused on creating awareness about immediate lifesaving measures that can be performed before advanced medical care arrives.
Dr. Lakshmanan, Medical Administrator of Kauvery Hospital, Tirunelveli, spoke about the importance of emergency preparedness and timely response in public places such as railway stations.
Railway Chief Medical Officer Dr. Raja Gobalan, along with the Railway Station Master and Railway Station Manager, attended the event and extended their full support in organising the program and ensuring the active participation of the railway staff members.
