After making its mark in South India, Bengaluru-based startup MedLern broadens its horizons to the north by collaborating with Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly, UP.
The tie-up is set to train 100 Post Graduates and nursing graduates to undergo Basic Life Support (BLS) programme. Backed by American Heart Association (AHA), the programme will give them an edge on performing high-quality Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
MedLern has collaborated with Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) Partners to offer BLS programme to tactfully handle emergency situations such as cardiac arrest, where the window to act is very short. The collaboration will commence with the training of 100 students now. The programme will make use of a mobile platform application, giving a person the freedom to access the content at any time.
Worldwide, there is a less than 1% survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest; with this training programme, cardiac mortality can be decreased by enhancing the resuscitation skills of medical students. Frequent training of medical professionals on the latest advancements in healthcare & technology is a must to avoid skill decay.
