The ICRC, along with its partner organisations, provided a five-day Training of Trainers (ToT) session in Basic Life Support (BLS) for doctors and first responders in Jammu. Held at Gandhinagar Hospital Auditorium, Jammu, in the last quarter of 2015, the partners for whom the sessions were conducted were the Directorate of Health Services Jammu (DHSJ) and Government Medical College (GMC) Jammu.

During the same period, the ICRC collaborated with the Directorate of Health Services Kashmir to organise a follow-up training session in BLS at the Regional Institute of Health and Family Welfare, Dhobiwan. The two-day session was a follow up to a similar training held in 2011. To date, 6,000 first responders have been trained (including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, ambulance drivers, health care staff, students, police and photo journalists) in the provision of timely and effective casualty care, with a view to reducing high morbidity and mortality in trauma cases.

From 1-3 December, 2015 the ICRC, the DHSJ and the GMC Jammu also facilitated a three-day Emergency Room Trauma Course (ERTC), whose focus was on standardized diagnostics and therapeutic procedures to be applied on the patient upon arrival in the hospital Emergency Room to reduce trauma-related injuries. It was   for specialist doctors at Gandhinagar Hospital Auditorium, Jammu. It is instructive to note that the ICRC has a long experience in providing health care to trauma victims, and runs ERTC and similar courses worldwide.
