CHATTOGRAM: Evercare Hospital Chattogram organised a ten-day training programme based on ‘Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support’ recognised by American Heart Association (AHA) in the port city recently.

A dedicated group of 30 doctors and nurses from the hospital underwent training conducted by esteemed regional faculty members from the International Academy of Emergency Medicine of Delhi in India.

This pioneering program is the first of its kind in the region, utilising state-of-the-art training equipment including specialised manikins and simulators, said the hospital authority.

Four doctors of the hospital critical care team completed the course of BLS and ACLS. They are Professor Dr AA Mohammed Ryhan Uddin, Dr Razaul Karim, Dr Swarup Das and Dr Rajesh Barua.

The hospital Medical Services Director Dr Deepak Singh said, "At Evercare Chattogram, we take immense pride in cultivating a large pool of doctors and nurses equipped with up-to-date lifesaving skills.”

 “This milestone marks the foundation of Evercare Hospital as an AHA Training Center allowing us to extend our impact by providing similar training programmes to healthcare providers in the region, ultimately benefiting the larger community,” he said.

 “We remain dedicated to our mission of transforming healthcare in the region, and this initiative represents a significant step forward," Dr Deepak added.
