First Aid to adolescent students

🌺”Every single person in the world has the capacity to save a life – it is an essential gesture of solidarity. First aid education should be accessible to all without discrimination.”- Grace Lo.

🌺With this thought, Dr Jagruti Sanghvi, EB member, IAP Mumbai was invited to teach First Aid to adolescent students of KDN Shruti School for Hearing Impaired at Juhu as a part of Child and Adolescent Health Care Week celebrations.

🌺The session was attended by 106 students along with 64 parents, 7 teachers and 8 members of Rotary Club of Bombay West and Inner Wheel Club of Bombay West. Dr Jagruti Sanghvi taught First Aid Do’s And Don’ts in various accident situations including injuries, bleeding, fall, fractures, fainting, heat stroke, seizures, burns, electric shock, choking, checking for airway-breathing-pulse, etc. with live demonstrations on the students.

🌺In spite of being hearing impaired, these students who could lip-read, interacted very well and asked a lot of queries and it was gratifying to answer them all. Their parents expressed deep gratitude for such a useful session. The school teachers and principal were extremely grateful.

🌺The entire session was coordinated by Dr Jagruti Sanghvi, on behalf of IAP Mumbai along with Dr Bhavna Patel(Rotary Club of Bombay West and Inner Wheel Club of Bombay West)
