01 - The Problem

Your heart stops.
Nobody moves.

Cardiac arrest is the most lethal everyday emergency. Yet in India, almost no one is trained to respond. Here's the data.

Global Scale

Bigger than
all cancers
Combined.

Globally, cardiac arrest claims more lives than colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, pneumonia, auto accidents, HIV, firearms and house fires combined. [3]

India Annual

428K

Estimated sudden cardiac deaths per year in India [4]

US Annual

356K

Out-of-hospital arrests in the US alone [5]

Survival

10%

Worldwide OHCA survival, stagnant for 20 years [6]

Home Trap

88%

Arrests that happen at home. Your family is the first responder. [7]

02 - India Specifically

The India Gap.

India's bystander CPR rate sits at 1.3% against an international target of 62%. [8]

Denmark80.6% bystander CPR
Sweden51.1% bystander CPR
Stockholm48% bystander CPR

Less than 2% of Indians are trained in CPR vs about 18% in Western countries.
