Dr Nauman Siddiqui conducting BLS Training

UM Healthcare Trust in collaboration with APPNA and Disaster Management Center (DMC) held an extremely successful BLS (Basic Life Support) Training session in rural Mardan District.

The training included video, mannequins, and interactive lectures (both in Urdu and English) thus making it highly hands-on.

Over twenty healthcare services providers from the local community (rural health workers, Lady Health Workers (LHW), pharmacist, medical students, midwives etc) participated in this highly interactive session. In the end certificates were distributed to all successful candidates who passed the DMC administered test.
