 No fewer than 700 persons in a dual state have been trained on providing basic life support in the case of cardiac arrest that have most times resulted in sudden death. The training which took place in Benin City, the state capital, is organized by the University of Benin Teaching Hospital in a bid to put participants through on how to perform a cardiopulmonary emergency on patients. On their part the participants lauded the management of the institutions for coming up with such initiatives noting that the training will indeed prepare them ahead of daily emergencies. Most times this is supposed to be a basic thing in any society where the indigenous of society are supposed to know how to respond when somebody drops and collapses. So that's why we are here. We're trying to target about 600 to 700 persons drawn from different organizations for us to give them awareness and train them on basic life support. As you can see we mounted about 15 stations where paramedic and medical officers are here training them on what to do when in medical emergencies. First let me comment the management of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, UBTH for this exercise. Journalists are also first responders. First responders in the sense that we want to capture the news first but while capturing the news UBTH of the opinion that we have to be sure that the life of the people you are meeting is safe. You have to be sure that you that discovering it you're also safe and that's why this life support training is very important. It's a very long way to help resuscitate an unconscious soldier in the sense that it gives the ordinary soldier that is not a medical personnel that's knowledge that knowledge to resuscitate an unconscious soldier. So by that doing it will save life. Those of us who are ex-man we are always on the roads and we are prone to these accident issues. Today about 30 of us have been talked on how to conduct CPR which can resuscitate which can break back somebody's life. It is very important and we are grateful to University of Benin Teaching Hospital. I know that this they have done today will impact on their dosage cities in the long run.
