Pakistan Life Support
Course - Basic (PLSC-B)

Save a Life, Save Humanity

Registration DetailsView Training Dates

Developed by CETE, the Pakistan Life Support Course - Basic is the country’s first locally developed, context-specific life support training. It is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the critical skills needed to respond effectively to cardiac, respiratory, and trauma emergencies in Pakistan.

Why PLSC-B?

Pakistan continues to face alarmingly low survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest, trauma, choking, and severe bleeding, both in and out of hospitals. While international life support trainings exist, they are often expensive, logistically difficult to access, and focused on causes like coronary artery disease, which do not fully reflect Pakistan’s broader emergency landscape.

PLSC-B was developed to address this critical gap. It prepares healthcare professionals to manage high-burden emergencies such as road traffic injuries, pediatric incidents, drowning, and flood-related trauma. Healthcare professionals are often the first and last line of defense in emergencies. With a focus on timely, effective response, PLSC-B empowers providers to deliver lifesaving interventions that are relevant to the healthcare realities in Pakistan.
