The Royal College Red Cross Society organized the Restart a Heart project in the month of January.

The workshop was conducted by the College of Anesthesiologists and Intensivists of Sri Lanka as a part of their programme ‘Restart a Heart’ Campaign organized to promote awareness regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

The program was conducted for the grade 12 students of the college and the members of the RCRCS to train students in CPR and provide them with the skills and confidence to act in an emergency situation to save a life.

All the participants were taught to give a CPR individually in an effective manner and they were given Certificates as well.
