Dr. Satheesh Kathula, an oncologist based in Dayton, Ohio, and former president of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), inaugurated a permanent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training center at Kanha Ashram in Hyderabad. The center aims to provide structured CPR education to members of the community.
Dr. Kathula, who donated the equipment for the center in honor of his parents’ memory, emphasized the life-saving importance of CPR.

The Kanha Ashram training center is expected to serve as a vital community resource, equipping individuals with essential skills to respond effectively during cardiac emergencies and ultimately save lives.
Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. Kathula, who served as AAPI president in 2024–25, said it was an honor to launch the initiative and contribute to its establishment. AAPI is a nonprofit organization representing more than 35,000 Indian American physicians.
“CPR saves lives. I was privileged to donate manikins and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to support hands-on training at the center,” he said.
While CPR awareness camps have traditionally been conducted on a temporary basis, Dr. Kathula noted that the new center represents a significant step forward by offering permanent access to life-saving education.
The initiative will be supported by Indo-US Community CPR and Project Heart India, with the organizations providing ongoing training and expertise.
