The response towards these training from the participants has been immensely positive. The participants have largely been military personnel from different contingents, military staff officers along with a healthy participation from civil national and international staff. The common consensus has been the feeling of empowerment. The medical team have benefitted from efforts of repetitive practice and have had ample opportunities to bolster their skills in public speaking. We welcome such endeavors in the future; however measures need to be set up for current social distancing norms. We believe that training is the only modality which may enable us, to stay alert for unforeseen circumstances.
