FIRST AID

What is First Aid?

First Aid is the immediate help given to a person who has had an accident or sudden illness before being placed under medical care. It is usually done at the place where the accident occurs. A person who gives first help uses a First Aid Kit. This is a container with items required to give the first help. By the end of the lesson you should be able to assemble items in a First Aid Kit.
