Basic Life Support (BLS) defines sequences of procedures performed to restore the circulation of oxygenated blood after a sudden pulmonary or cardiac arrest until they can be given full medical care at a hospital.

It can be provided by trained medical personnel including paramedics and by anyone who knows, how to do it, anywhere, immediately, without any other equipment.

Red Cross BLS certification has been developed under the guidance of Indian Red Cross Society, Gujarat State Branch First Aid Master Trainers, Doctors, and Experts.
