The scope of this program will be gradually extended to the entire city to save the lives of citizens by providing immediate medical assistance after fatal accidents and heart attacks.

With this training in the event of fire, accident, heart attack, stroke, serious injury, people can help each other immediately and most of the patients get better before reaching the hospital and their lives are saved.
