First-aid campaign

Non-fatal accidents may often lead to severe injuries but first-aid treatment is an instant temporary solution to many unavoidable circumstances in minor accidents. Since we are still a developing nation, it is important to make people aware of healthcare solutions, especially first-aid required anywhere any time. Knowledge of first-aid helps people take steps during any emergency and lack of such knowledge complicates any simple problem, even threatening a life. Arrangements should be made all over the country to ensure that people have access to first-aid and it is not difficult since there are medicine shops everywhere in the country nowadays.

As we have lack of education about healthcare, first-aid training campaign should be introduced to all institutions such as schools and colleges, offices, banks and corporations. The government can engage private organisations or non-government organisations to carry out this training campaign.
