Department of Skill Lab
INTRODUCTION
Skills Lab, Liaquat National Hospital, Pakistan’s first and fully equipped skills lab established in 1996.The initial aim of the lab was to train only LNH’s doctors and staff in Basic Life Support (BLS).”The positive response and feedback we got from the trained doctors and staff encouraged us to introduce new courses as well. In 2002, new courses were started for limited candidates from institutions e.g. DMC, SMC and FJDC. Lab now proudly offers certified training courses in life saving techniques. Supervised by certified and experienced instructors and are conducting in line with American Heart Association guideline on regular basis.
