The general populace of India lacks the knowledge of what to do during medical emergencies. We often hear incidents where people sccumb to minor health problems cause people around them didn't know how to react to the situation. Actor Kartik Aaryan has taken upon himself to spread awareness regarding this issue. He urged people to join a workshop to learn how to perform a CPR which can save lives.

Talikng about the same in a video shared on Instagram, Kartik said, "Life is fragile and precious, and cardiac arrest is the leading cause of sudden death across all age groups. And if you are trained in CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation you can save a life if someone has a cardiac arrest in front of you. Learn this life-saving skill with an hour-long workshop being conducted by iCare – an initiative by cardiologists who have seen too many deaths that may have been prevented."

Further in his statement, Kartik said, "It’s time for us to step up and get active in our own communities. We can and we will soon be at par with the countries where almost everyone over the age of 15 knows CPR. Let’s do this together.”
