The Resuscitation Training Centre (RTC) of Caritas Medical Centre was set up in 1996 by a group of doctors and nurses interested in improving the standards of resuscitation. The Centre was made possible with the enthusiastic support of our Ex-HCE, Dr. Helen Tinsley and a grant from Caritas Hong Kong.

We hosted a series of training courses organized by Emergency Care Training (HK), the American Heart Association Hong Kong International Training Organization (ITO). In October 2001, Emergency Care Training (HK) on behalf of AHA signed an agreement with CMCRTC, authorizing the centre as a Training Center (TC). CMCRTC became the first Training Center of the American Heart Association (AHA) in Hong Kong.
