Basic Life Support (BLS) Training Program at Riphah International University, Sahiwal Campus

Riphah International University, Sahiwal Campus, in collaboration with the Punjab Civil Defence Resilience Corps, successfully organized a Basic Life Support (BLS) Training Program, reaffirming its commitment to community safety, emergency preparedness, and practical skill development.

The training program aimed to equip participants with essential life-saving skills required to respond effectively during medical emergencies. Such initiatives reflect Riphah’s vision of fostering a responsible, skilled, and socially conscious academic community.

Hands-On Training for Life-Saving Skills

The BLS training focused on practical, hands-on learning, allowing participants to gain real-time experience in critical emergency response techniques. Under the supervision of certified instructors, attendees were trained in:

• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) techniques
• Chest compressions using professional CPR manikins
• Emergency response assessment and patient handling
• Immediate care procedures during cardiac arrest and respiratory emergencies

The practical approach ensured that participants not only understood the theoretical concepts but also developed confidence in applying these skills during real-life situations.

Expert Guidance and Interactive Learning

Trainers from the Punjab Civil Defence Resilience Corps provided expert guidance throughout the session, emphasizing accuracy, timing, and teamwork during emergency response. Participants actively engaged in the exercises, learning correct posture, compression depth, and response coordination — all critical factors in saving lives.

The interactive nature of the session encouraged questions, demonstrations, and real-time feedback, enhancing the overall learning experience.

Promoting a Culture of Safety and Responsibility

This initiative highlights Riphah International University’s dedication to promoting health awareness, emergency preparedness, and civic responsibility among its faculty, staff, and students. By organizing such programs, the university ensures that its community is better prepared to respond promptly and effectively in emergencies, both on campus and beyond.

A Step Towards a Safer Community

The Basic Life Support Training Program serves as a vital step toward building a safer and more resilient society. Participants left the session with valuable knowledge, practical skills, and a renewed sense of responsibility to assist others in times of need.

Riphah International University extends its gratitude to the Punjab Civil Defence Resilience Corps for their collaboration and expert support in making this training program a success. Such partnerships continue to strengthen the university’s mission of combining academic excellence with real-world impact.
