Then we were trained in CPR and what are the compulsory steps which should be followed for the safety of the victim as well as the first responder. The event was on just limited to that, we were made to learn about the process of organ donation and misconceptions related to it including the role of SOTTO and NOTTO in human welfare. We were also trained in how we can tackle an unconscious person taking proper measures and saving any cervical injury. Then the 3rd phase of the event where we were taught dealing with major physical injuries like fracture, road accident, bullet shot and other traumas. The event embedded numerous skills in the students in an interactive way with a practical approach. The students were then bestowed with certificates of completion in training.
