Hyderabad: Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar has sought the help of hospitals to save lives under the ‘SAVIOR’ programme of the Cyberabad Police.
Speaking at a meeting on road safety with officials of major hospitals and Cyberabad Traffic Police officials here on Friday, Sajjanar said nearly 850 people died in road crashes in Cyberabad every year, many of whom could be saved with immediate availability of emergency trauma care. It was in this background that the Cyberabad Police in co-ordination with the Society for Cyberabad Security Council initiated the Saving Accident Victims On Road (SAVIOUR) initiative.
As part of the initiative, a training programme was already on with the support of SCSC and Care Institute of Health Sciences, with over 300 police personnel and common citizens who resided along the highways being trained in 11 batches on imparting basic first aid to accident victims. Providing advanced trauma care treatment to accident victims with the support of major hospitals in the city too was being taken up.
