Gandhinagar: State education minister Kuber Dindor in Gandhinagar on Friday said that 1,052 persons died of heart attacks in Gujarat in the last six months with 80% of the deceased in the 11 to 25 years age group.
He said two lakh teachers and college professors will undergo a fortnight long training programme from December 3 to 17 on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a lifesaving intervention for such medical emergencies, Dindor said.The minister added that Gujarat is the first state to have trained teachers and police on performingCPR.
“As many as 1,052 persons have died due to heart attacks in the last six months in Gujarat. Nearly 80% of them were in the age group of 11 to 25 years and these students and youngsters were not even obese. The 108 ambulance service receives 173 cardiac emergency calls every day,” said Dindor, while addressing the media in Gandhinagar.
Youngsters are living in fear because the majority of heart attack victims were in their age group. “We have seen how people died (due to heart attack) while playing cricket or taking part in garba in the last six or seven months. I urge teachers to take part in this CPR training camp so they can save lives,” the minister said.
The minister said 2,500 medical experts and doctors will be present at these training camps at 38 medical colleges and 14 other places and certificates will be given to participants. He added that in the second phase, NSS and NCC cadets will also be trained in administering CPR.
Earlier this year, the state unit of the BJP had organized CPR training camps for party workers.
