Imparting basic life-saving skills to thousands of officials and volunteers, who are going to be present at the various bathing ghats, is the daunting task ahead of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) in the coming few days. IMA Vijayawada chapter secretary M. Ravindranath said that IMA had agreed to take up the formidable task of teaching basic life-saving skills to non-medical staff of the Revenue, Endowments, Municipal and the Police Departments. \r\nThe IMA has taken it upon itself to provide the doctors and medicos needed to take care of the first-aid centre, and base hospital at Durga Ghat. About 60 IMA members and 300 medicos have enlisted with the IMA to provide medical and health services during the pushkarams, Dr Ravindranath said. |
