NEW DELHI: The loss of his son because of a delay in getting medical care inspired 31-year-old Shiv Om Singh to train and help others save their near and dear ones. Singh, originally from Dehradun, is a Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) and road safety trainer. On March 28 last year, his two-and-a-half-year-old son Shivansh met with an accident and lost his life due to delay in access to medical care and high response time.
Taking inspiration from his loss, Singh decided to devote his time and energy to reducing such casualties. Within 15 days of the tragic incident, he was at the SaveLife Foundation imparting Covidrelated training to medical professionals. “After I lost my son, I realised that access to healthcare in the Golden Hour is very important. I wanted to get back to the field and ensure no one else goes through the trauma of losing a near and dear one due to high response time.
