V-Care Foundation
Vijan’s UniQ Healthcare Foundation (V-Care)
Section 8 Charity Foundation
Introduction
VUHF is a non-profit initiative by Vijan Hospital, Nashik, that dedicates itself in the cause of imparting Basic Training to the Public and on how to save the life of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest victim. Here time is of paramount importance as Emergency Medical Services may take time to arrive.
Heart disease is the leading cause of Death Worldwide, and we Indians are the worst affected. South Asians constitute 60% of the World’s Coronary Artery disease Burden. Statistics show that almost 15-20% of the population (Young and Old, often apparently Healthy) drop dead suddenly at home or at public places (without any knowledge or indication of any diseases of the heart). Most of them are Young /Middle-aged and are apparently healthy.
They die of what is medically known as a SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST (SCA)/ SCD (Sudden Cardiac Death). Such SCA victims can be saved by bystanders by providing immediate Cardiac Resuscitation and Shocking the Heart to a normal rhythm until Medical help arrives and the patient is taken to the hospital. Even in Advanced countries like the USA 1.6-2.5 Lakhs Sudden Cardiac deaths occur out of Hospital /year. The survival is only 6.45%.
The good news is that Non- Medical, General people on the street CAN SAVE LIVES if they are imparted Basic training and educated by Simple Demonstration by experts. Vijan Hospital (VHRC)’s VUHF under the guidance and in Association with Mumbai’s already established Revive Heart Foundation(iCARE) aims at creating such awareness and imparting free training to members of the public (bystanders) on how to perform CCR (Cardio Cerebral Resuscitation) and how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) that delivers life-saving, appropriately measured shocks to the arrested heart, thereby reviving it. We would invite Groups such as Police Personnel, Fire-Brigade, Colleges, Schools, organizations such as Rotary/ Lions and other NGOs, Banks, Professional Groups, Public Transport ( Auto-rickshaws, Taxis, buses) and so on.
VHRC’s Charitable Trust also envisions providing AEDs by installing a sizeable number of them in and around Nashik City at Generally known Public and Prominent places, so they can be used by trained community members to attend to Cardiac Arrest Victims and rewarding them with a GIFT OF LIFE.
Our Vision would be the first city in India/ South Asia to cover Nashik with appropriately distributed AED’s and a Maximally trained General Public.
