Learn to Save a Life in the First Few Minutes
In a medical emergency, what happens in the first few minutes often decides the outcome — long before an ambulance arrives. Mithrakulam runs hands-on emergency response training, in partnership with the Indian Institute of Emergency Medical Services (IIEMS), to turn everyday people — volunteers, students, workers, anyone — into confident first responders.
Four Courses to Choose From
BLS
Basic Life Support: CPR, cardiac and respiratory emergencies
BTC
Basic Trauma Care: injury stabilization and triage
BFA
Basic First Aid: everyday medical emergencies
