The kiosk will provide practical demonstrations and hands-on training through medical experts and digital learning modules.PGIMS director Dr SK Singhal and medical superintendent Dr Kundan Mittal said the facility is being introduced as part of the institute’s broader efforts to improve public health awareness and emergency preparedness among common citizens. Thousands of patients and attendants visit the hospital daily, and the administration believes that training even a small percentage of them in CPR can improve survival chances during medical emergencies outside hospitals, they added.According to PGIMS authorities, the kiosk will be equipped with mannequins and modern training equipment to help people understand chest compressions, emergency response timing and other crucial first-aid techniques. Visitors will also be informed about how immediate CPR before medical help arrives can prevent deaths in critical situations.Officials said awareness sessions would be organised regularly and efforts would also be made to encourage students, attendants and the general public to participate in the programme.
