Speaking at the end of the program, the Director of Nursing services expressed delight at the opportunity to participate in the training organized by Medicalworld Nigeria. She noted that the training was timely and apt considering the nature of their job. She added that 'nurses spend significant time alongside patients and are often the first to attend at in-hospital cardiovascular arrests; and as such are the first line resonse to providing CPR, playing a vital role in all patient resuscitation efforts.
