The Kochi Metro is set to become one of the first rapid transit networks in India to be cardio-emergency responsive with the installation of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) machines at all of its stations, KMRL said on Thursday.
The Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) announced its decision on the eve of World Heart Day and said that it would help it to cross another landmark after emerging as the catalyst of the port city’s changing face.
The AED machines would also be installed at the water metro stations, it said in a release.
In the first phase, the AED machines will be installed at 10 metro stations and two water metro terminals.
