🩹 Emergency First Aid

Having basic first-aid supplies ready can help families respond to minor injuries while they arrange appropriate medical care when needed. The goal is simple preparedness—not replacing professional medical treatment.

What to Know

1. Keep a First-Aid Kit

Keep basic supplies such as adhesive bandages, sterile dressings, antiseptic supplies, medical tape, gloves, and scissors in one clearly marked place.

2. Learn Basic First Aid

Every family can benefit from learning simple first-aid skills appropriate to their age and abilities. Consider taking a recognized first-aid or CPR course for more practical training.

3. Check Supplies Regularly

Inspect your first-aid kit from time to time and replace used, damaged, or expired items. Keep medications only as recommended and stored safely away from children.

4. Know When to Get Help

Serious injuries, breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, poisoning, or other potentially life-threatening situations require immediate professional medical assistance.

5. Keep Emergency Information Ready

Store important medical information, emergency contacts, allergies, and other relevant details where responsible family members can access them quickly during an emergency.
