My Motivation behind FirstResponder.in! 

Prashant, one of my twin sons, when 6 years old developed Cardio Respiratory Arrests (i.e. not only did he stopped breathing, but his heart also stopped beating).

As a father my first reaction was that I started crying. But immediately, the First Aider and the Doctor in me took over and he was successfully resusciated within 2 minutes.

In my professional life also, many a times I have saved lives because of simple first aid and life saving skills like CPR.

Why to train First Responders?

At present following is the emergency scenario in INDIA.

• A rough estimate is that around 300,000 individuals suffer with some short of emergencies every day.
• One person dies of road accidents every 6 minutes.
• 4 persons die due to Heart Attack every minute.
• 6.5 million people died of strokes in year 2002.
• About 17 million people sustain injuries at work places every year, and out of it 45000 are life threatening.
• Out of 435,000 serious injuries (other than road accidents), 86000 people die.

AS EDUCATED CITIZENS CAN WE DO SOME THING? THINK OVER IT.

DESTINY IS NOT MATTER OF CHANCE BUT MATTER OF CHOICE. AND TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Our former president Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said, “In your entire lifetime if you can save or better someone’s life, your birth as a human being and your life is success”.
