Training programmes

Courses he runs and trains people in

Most lives lost to injury are lost in the first hour — often before a doctor is anywhere near. These courses put the skills into the hands of the people who are actually there.

  1. Basic Life Support (BLS)

    Teaching ordinary people how to restart a stopped heart.

    Hands-on workshops in chest compressions, rescue breathing and using an automated defibrillator. Delivered in hospitals, offices and factories — including the Bangladesh Power Development Board head office in Agrabad, Chattogram — so that help can begin in the first minutes, long before an ambulance arrives.

    Who it is for

    Doctors, nurses, students, office staff and factory workers

  2. ACLS and ATLS

    Advanced courses for doctors handling cardiac arrest and major trauma.

    Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Advanced Trauma Life Support are the international standard courses for treating a patient in the first critical hour. Dr. Chakraborty is a certified trainer for both.

    Who it is for

    Doctors and post-graduate trainees

  3. Essential Trauma Care with United Nations agencies
