''All citizens of the world can save a life''

Misbah Ali

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the most leading cause of preventable deaths in India, and therefore to increase public awareness and rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a global campaign—World Restart A Heart (WRAH) was initiated in 2018.

The original mission statement for WRAH “All citizens of the world can save a life” continues to be the theme of the global initiative.

Fundamental to this approach is that an increase in bystander resuscitation rates can increase survival rates up to threefold.

Over 675,000 people were trained in resuscitation during the first WRAH in 2018 and 12.7 million were reached via social media.

In 2019, with the slogan “iconic places”, #worldrestartaheart reached 206 million people on social media. At least 5.4 million people were trained in resuscitation worldwide.

One of the most successful ideas for 2020 was the “#MySongCanSaveLives” campaign. Famous national and international artists whose songs align with the appropriate rate for resuscitation (100–120 BPM) were contacted. They were invited to post the song on social media platforms with the #MySongCanSaveLives hashtag and thus spread the message to all their followers.
