Bhopal, May 29, 2025 — In a significant stride towards improving emergency medical response, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhopal has launched a new mobile application, ‘Code Emergency’, designed to empower both the general public and healthcare professionals with life-saving knowledge and tools.
The launch, held on World Medicine Emergency Day, was led by AIIMS Bhopal Executive Director, Ajai Singh. The initiative aligns with the Madhya Pradesh government’s ‘One State One Health One Emergency’ policy, aiming to streamline and democratize access to emergency medical guidance across the state.

Comprehensive Emergency Information: A dropdown menu provides quick access to protocols for various emergencies, supporting the ‘One State One Health One Emergency’ vision.
Ajai Singh emphasized the app’s potential to revolutionize emergency care: “Through audio-visual guidelines, the app enables users to administer CPR and potentially save lives anywhere. It includes age-appropriate instructions for all age groups.”
The app will soon be available for free download on the Google Play Store.
Training and Awareness Initiatives
To mark the app’s launch, AIIMS Bhopal also organized a hands-on CPR and First Aid training session for media personnel, equipping journalists with essential life-saving skills.
