National BLS/ CPR Day

About the Program

Basic Life Support (BLS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) are lifesaving interventions that play a vital role during medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest, choking, drowning, and respiratory failure. Early recognition, immediate CPR, and timely activation of emergency medical services significantly improve survival outcomes.
