Bharati Vidyapeeth Medical College, Pune

The Code Maternal Arrest Workshop successfully concluded with the participation of 45 delegates and a distinguished multidisciplinary faculty of 15, including experts from Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesiology, and Obstetrics. The workshop was organized by the Department of Emergency Medicine (EMD), Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Medical College in association with SEMI India.​

Maternal cardiac arrest presents a uniquely high-stakes clinical challenge, involving the lives of both mother and baby. This workshop focused on strengthening critical, life-saving skills through hands-on workstations, covering:​

Difficult airway management in pregnancy ​
CPR and defibrillation in maternal arrest ​
Resuscitative delivery ​
Newborn resuscitation ​

Participants also engaged in two high-fidelity simulation scenarios, enabling them to apply these skills in realistic, high-pressure situations. This was followed by a systems-based discussion, aimed at helping delegates translate these learnings into their own clinical settings and implement a structured Code Maternal Arrest protocol.​

Managing maternal cardiac arrest requires seamless coordination, preparedness, and teamwork. This workshop marked a significant step towards building that integrated response in emergency care.

On the occasion of World Health Day, 7th April 2026, the Department of Community Medicine under the Urban Health Training Centre, organized an interdisciplinary health check-up camp in the community, embracing this year’s theme, “Together for Health. Stand with Science.” The initiative focused on strengthening community awareness, promoting evidence-based healthcare, and encouraging early screening practices.

The camp was conducted in collaboration with the Departments of Pulmonary Medicine, General Medicine, and School of Physiotherapy, ensuring a comprehensive approach to patient care. Services provided included blood pressure and random blood sugar measurement, microfilament testing, spirometry, and general health check-up. In addition, participants received lifestyle counseling to support healthy and sustainable living.

Free medicines were distributed with the support of the Satya Sai Organization, enhancing accessibility to essential healthcare services. A total of 84 individuals from all age groups benefited from the camp. Patients requiring further evaluation and management were referred to Bharati Hospital.

The initiative highlighted the importance of working together for community and scientific approaches in achieving better health outcomes for all.
