How an institution will be benefitted with this program?

As an institution we have moral, ethical and legal responsibility to provide best health care facilities. Unlike developed countries where individuals are supposed to take First Responder Program regularly; it’s not in our priority list yet. A trained team of first responders who provide initial medical care at games field, swimming pool, boarding houses, at roadside, at work place, at home, during trekking and mountaineering, is an added advantage to any institution.
