Advatech Healthcare launches first responder course

Kolkata, Sept 23 (IBNS) To facilitate practical emergency training due to the growing ambulance demand, Advatech Healthcare recently launched a new career oriented course for the healthcare sector in Kolkata.

The company aims to promote public and professional awareness by providing real time training in medical emergency situations mainly in eastern India.

Lammata Bala Raju, medical Director from The UK and Samit Kumar Biswas, CEO, Advatech Healthcare were present at the event.

According to the research, there is less number of ambulances available for the growing population and due to the lack of trained man power, Advatech Healthcare introduced the course to train people when they encounter any kind of medical emergency.

The courses are conducted under the supervision of senior medical experts with the help of an international team of doctors offering hands-on-experience of using emergency and non-emergency ambulances, medical equipment, training kits and manikins. The group will also provide long term assistance in placements, in local ambulance services, casualty departments, ICU, CCU, ITU ETC.

Samit Kumar Biswas, CEO, Advatech Healthcare, said, “Most of the courses are run within the local corporate hospitals and provide the standard training. However, Advatech’s courses are designed to increase the hands-on experience along with the standard training. We also do our best to place the trainees into local corporates and hospitals so that they may learn as much as possible on the practical front.” 

Advatech offers four kinds of courses First Aid Course, First Responder Course, Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support Courses (ALS).

The courses are designed to train people to manage the basic emergencies safely and effectively within the community. The more advanced courses will be useful for hospital and ambulance staffs who deal with emergencies.

Advatech takes up the initiative to train 20 people within 6 months and they get a certificate verified under National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).

With an investment of between 15 lakh to 30 lakh Rupees per ambulance, the group also announced expansion plans in New Delhi NCR region, Jharkhand, Goa, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka after setting up training systems across the whole of West Bengal and North East.

Advatech Healthcare plans to launch 200 of their own ambulances in different cities of India by 2017.
