The head of PM Strategic Reforms Unit said that this move is part of the National CPR Training Initiative and it will be implemented in the country very soon. Under this program, the CPR training will be provided to each citizen and they can save the precious lives of the people in case of any emergency. The PM will announce the reforms in healthcare sector and the CPR training will be started in the country.

When the teenager was brought out of the water from Naltar Lake, he was unconscious and there was no medical help at that place but the couple was medically trained and husband gave mouth-to-mouth breath to the boy and wife performed the service of chest compressions and after few minutes, the breath of the young boy became normal and he started breathing. In this way, this couple managed to save his life.
