In collaboration with Sri Lanka Life Saving (SLLS), the Asia-Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management (A-PAD) Sri Lanka held a CPR Training Course at its headquarters in Colombo on the 5th of July, 2022. The training was conducted under A-PAD’s Search and Rescue (SAR) initiative for 30 participants from private sector organizations, as well as search and rescue representatives and volunteers. Technical expertise for the training was provided by Mr. Asanka Nanayakkara (President, SLLS) and Mr. Samith Thilina (Trainer/Senior Instructor, SLLS), who carried out both theoretical and practical training sessions. A-PAD facilitates these CPR Training courses with the overall objective to sensitize and ensure that all the participants involved can provide vital assistance in the event of any disaster, occupational hazard or community emergency. Once the participants had completed the training programme, they were awarded an internationally recognized license and certification.
