What is Lay Responder Care Training?
The Lay Responder Care Training program teaches basic emergency care skills to non-medical/non-paramedical individuals— empowering ordinary citizens to respond scientifically, systematically and effectively to road crash injuries. The program aligns with India’s Good Samaritan Law and follows strict safety and ethical standards.
It’s not about becoming a doctor.
It’s about knowing what to do until one arrives.
