First Aid Training for Kids & Children in Delhi NCR

Why Every Child Must Learn First Aid & CPR

Children spend a significant part of their day at school — on playgrounds, in labs, and on sports fields — where accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Incidents of choking, asthma attacks, fractures, and sudden cardiac events are unfortunately not uncommon in school environments across Delhi NCR.

The critical gap? Most bystanders — students, teachers, and even parents — do not know how to respond correctly in those first few minutes before professional medical help arrives. That window of time is often the difference between life and lasting injury.

            
            Immediate, correct first aid can double or triple a victim's chance of survival
            before an ambulance reaches the scene.

At 24x7 Medical Service, we believe every school child trained in first aid becomes a potential lifesaver — at school, at home, and in the community.

First Aid training for school children in Delhi

Our Mission

Making First Aid Mandatory in Delhi Schools

A city-wide campaign led by 24x7 Medical Service to embed life-saving education into the school curriculum — because prepared children save lives.

The volunteers and senior trainers at 24x7 Medical Service & Delhi First Aid Training Centre launched a dedicated campaign to advocate for mandatory first aid and CPR education in Delhi schools. This initiative was sparked by repeated real-life incidents — students collapsing on playfields, choking in canteens, or sustaining severe injuries on the road — with no trained responder present.

Our senior trainer, Dr. Asif Sattar, observed that in most cases of student emergencies, neither classmates, teachers, nor bystanders knew the correct protocol. Many well-intentioned interventions inadvertently made situations worse. This gap in knowledge is entirely preventable.

"When children are taught first aid in school, they don't just learn a skill — they become the first line of defense for their families and communities. A trained child is a guardian in every household." — Dr. Asif Sattar, Senior Trainer, 24x7 Medical Service

The campaign has already received strong endorsement from parents, local governing bodies, and education administrators. Similar mandates exist across multiple European countries, where first aid training is legally required in schools. Our goal is to bring the same standard to India's capital and beyond.

Awareness drives through social media, poster campaigns, essay and painting competitions in schools, and formal memoranda to the Education Minister and Delhi Secretariat form the core of this movement. The momentum is growing — and you can be a part of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal age for children to begin first aid training?

Children as young as 8 years old can begin learning age-appropriate first aid skills such as calling for help, applying pressure to wounds, and recognising emergencies. Full CPR training using manikins is typically introduced from age 10–12 onwards, when children have the physical strength and cognitive maturity to retain and apply techniques correctly.

Can first aid training be arranged directly at our school?

Absolutely. 24x7 Medical Service offers fully on-site training programmes. We bring all necessary equipment — CPR manikins, AED trainers, bandaging kits, and scenario props — directly to your school. Programmes can be customised for student age groups, teacher staff, and parent evenings.

How long does the children's first aid training programme take?

Our standard Two-Day First Aid Programme covers comprehensive theory and hands-on skills. For school programmes, we also offer focused one-day sessions and modular half-day workshops that can be integrated into the school timetable without significant disruption.

Is the certification valid for college admissions or employment?

Yes. Our certification is aligned with AHA, WHO, and Indian Red Cross Society standards and is recognised nationally and internationally. For older students, this certification can be listed on CVs and college applications as a verified life-skills credential. Recertification is recommended every 1–2 years.

Do you offer first aid training for parents separately?

Yes. We run dedicated parent-focused workshops covering paediatric CPR, infant choking response, managing fever emergencies, and home accident management. These sessions are available on weekends and evenings to accommodate working parents.
