In a commendable initiative to promote emergency readiness, Apeejay School, Saket, in collaboration with Max Hospital, Saket and the Interact Club, conducted a life-saving CPR training workshop for its students. The event aimed to raise awareness and equip young minds with critical first-aid skills that can save lives during emergencies.
Hands-on learning with experts
The session was led by a skilled team of healthcare professionals from Max Hospitals, who used realistic medical mannequins to demonstrate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and other life-saving techniques. From identifying an unresponsive individual to performing chest compressions and checking for breathing, every step was taught with clarity and care.
Students watched the demonstrations with rapt attention before stepping forward to try the procedures themselves under expert supervision. This hands-on experience helped reinforce theoretical knowledge with practical application – building both confidence and competence.
Speaking about the event, Dr Sujeet Eric Masih, Principal of Apeejay School, Saket, shared, “Empowering our students with life-saving skills is the greatest investment in their confidence and readiness. Well done!!!”
Echoing a similar sentiment, Vice Principal Ms Ashu Khattar said, “Equipping students and teachers with CPR training empowers them to act confidently in emergencies and potentially save lives. A big step toward creating a safer, more responsible community!”
Celebrating the spirit of care
Organised around the occasion of Nurses Day, the event also served to honour healthcare professionals. Posters displayed messages celebrating nurses and first responders, creating a compassionate atmosphere that complemented the technical training.
With initiatives like these, Apeejay School, Saket continues to provide holistic education – nurturing not just academic excellence but responsible citizenship. By training students in emergency response, the school is preparing a generation that is both knowledgeable and ready to act when it matters most.
According to global health studies, performing CPR immediately after cardiac arrest can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.
