The training program covers both theory and practical aspects of Basic Life Support (BLS), CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and choking. Upon completion, participants received a certificate from BDMS, recognizing their knowledge and skills to provide emergency life support and save lives even if they are not medical professionals.
