You Can Save One Life

Training to Save Lives: Empowering Citizens through COLS

Chhoo Le Aasman, in collaboration with the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists – Nagpur City Branch (ISA NCB), took a significant step towards community health and emergency preparedness by conducting a COLS (Compression-Only Life Support) training under the impactful initiative: “You Can Save One Life.”

The training session was held on the occasion of the naming ceremony of Past President of ISA NCB, Dr. Shital Dalal’s grandson, Rugved, at Deodhar Farmhouse. This noble event transformed a family celebration into a powerful platform for public health awareness.

Mrs. Citra Parate, President of Chhoo Le Aasman, led the hands-on demonstration of cardiac compression on a manikin, showcasing how every citizen can become a first responder in critical moments. The training was further enriched by expert guidance from Dr. Leena Ingale, Dr. Sonali Khobragade, Dr. Umesh Ramtani, and Dr. Vikas Chaudhary, who thoroughly explained the COLS procedure and addressed numerous queries related to emergency response, including mouth-to-mouth respiration techniques.

More than 70 guests and family members participated actively, with great enthusiasm and commitment. The event reinforced a powerful message:

“In those crucial few minutes before medical help arrives, a trained citizen can be the reason someone lives.”

This training initiative is a stepping stone towards building a community of lifesavers—where knowledge, awareness, and action come together to protect lives.
