HOSMAT Hospitals Turns World Trauma Day into Action with Flash Mob for Public Awareness & Life-Saving Training for Bengaluru Police at Hennur
Bengaluru, October 18th, 2025: On World Trauma Day, HOSMAT Hospitals took trauma awareness to the streets at Hennur Crossing. A vibrant flash mob drew attention to road safety, urging the public to follow traffic rules, wear helmets, avoid speeding, and protect themselves and others from avoidable injuries.
Simultaneously, HOSMAT joined hands with Hennur Police Station and conducted a Basic Life Support (BLS) training camp for police personnel, led by Dr. Shanthi Priya, HOD of Emergency. The interactive session enabled 50+ officers from Hennur Police Station to learn vital life-saving techniques through hands-on demonstrations and practical drills.
In the first six months of 2025, over 29,000 lives were lost on India’s national highways alone more than 50% of all fatalities from the previous year, as per data from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. Bengaluru saw 4,784 road accidents in 2024, with 893 people killed, revealed the same data showing the continued risk even with small improvements.
It has been noted that about 70% of vehicles involved in fatal road accidents in Bengaluru are two-wheelers — highlighting the need for helmet use and safe riding. These figures underline why interventions like flash mobs for public awareness and BLS training for front-line responders are not optional, but essential.

Recognized as 2nd in Bengaluru and 6th nationally for Emergency & Trauma care, HOSMAT has also performed 32,000+ joint replacements and 25,000+ ACL surgeries, reflecting unmatched surgical readiness.
Through the HOSMAT Foundation, the hospital has further extended its impact with 1,200+ corrective surgeries for underprivileged children, reaffirming its mission to heal with compassion and skill.
Dr. Shanti Priya P, Head of the Emergency department, Hosmat Hospital, Kalyan Nagar, World Trauma Day reminds us how precious every moment of life is. Trauma comes without warning but our awareness and readiness can turn fear into hope. “Trauma doesn’t wait but our readiness can change its story. Every helping hand, every act of care, gives someone another chance at life.”
Let’s stand together to build a safer world — one where every second counts, every action matters, and every life saved becomes a story of strength and humanity.
Mr. Deepak L., Inspector of Police, Hennur Police Station, said: “This activity organised by Hosmat Hospital was very well planned and truly impactful. The hands-on training was extremely useful — we now know how to react to patients with cardiac arrest as first responders. We also learned how to handle accident victims more effectively. As first responders on the field, this training was immensely valuable.”
Sub Inspectors Parshuram B. and Narasimalu also commended Hosmat Hospital’s BLS training camp, appreciating the hospital’s initiative in empowering police personnel with life-saving emergency response skills.
HOSMAT Hospitals reaffirms its commitment to building a safer Bengaluru through regular public awareness drives, partnerships with law enforcement, and expanding its preventive trauma care initiatives. Because real safety is formed when communities, experts, and institutions walk together.
