CPR Awareness Week: A Step Towards Saving Lives
In alignment with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India’s initiative, we are proud to have conducted a highly impactful CPR Awareness Week from October 13th to October 17th, 2025. As a DNB Institute recognized by the Government of India, we remain committed to improving healthcare education and promoting life-saving practices within the community.
The event was coordinated by Dr. Raghava Rao B Patruni, MD DNB who was the coordinator of DNB Courses aimed to raise awareness about Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and its critical role in emergency situations. CPR is a crucial skill that can make the difference between life and death in cases of cardiac arrest, and our goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and ability to act swiftly in such emergencies. In this program Hospital Medical Director Rev. Sr. Dr. Annie and Mr. Sitaramaiah, Vice-Principal, Hindu College of Pharmacy, Guntur were participated.
Throughout the week, we hosted a series of engaging sessions that included:
- Interactive Demonstrations on CPR techniques
- Hands-On Training for medical professionals, students, and the public
- Discussions and Awareness Campaigns highlighting the importance of CPR
We were fortunate to have a dedicated team of healthcare professionals and participants who contributed their time and enthusiasm, ensuring the program's success. Our efforts are a part of the nationwide initiative to train more people in basic life-saving skills, ultimately fostering a more prepared and compassionate society.
Key Highlights of CPR Awareness Week:

We would like to thank everyone who took part in this initiative and helped make it a success. Your participation plays a crucial role in saving lives, and we are proud to contribute to the broader mission of creating a CPR-conscious nation.
