The workshop provided practical, simulation-based training aimed at enhancing emergency response capabilities among healthcare professionals. More than 40 participants, including doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff, attended the workshop.

Participants were trained in:

• The latest BLS and ALS protocols

• Effective CPR techniques

• Use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs)

• Emergency airway management

• Handling cardiac arrest and other critical scenarios in real-time simulations

The hands-on sessions were followed by interactive case discussions and skill assessments to ensure that participants gained both theoretical understanding and practical confidence in managing life-threatening emergencies.

The program was well-received and appreciated by the participants for its international standard of instruction, clarity of training, and relevance to day-to-day clinical practice.

This initiative marks another step by Imamia Medics Kashmir in building a stronger and more responsive healthcare workforce in the region, aligned with global best practices.
