FIRST AID
First Aid has proven to save lives. The action of life saving measures in the first few moments of emergency greatly impact survival rate. In Ghana, a lot of people do not have any first aid training or the skill to intervene when someone goes into medical emergency at home or outside the hospital. Hence, people helplessly stand by and cry as their love one lies on the floor waiting for an ambulance to arrive, if they are lucky to be in a service area. Some people who get into accidents just bleed to death simply because, the people around them do not have any idea on how to stop the bleed before medical professionals arrive.
The Lack of first aid intervention in these situations, take precious time away and drastically decreases the chance of survival. Patients who are lucky to be transported to the hospital may end up in a more serious condition than if they had received appropriate first aid in the early stage of the medical situation. The sad part is that, simple first aid training does not require any formal education and any person can acquire these simple skills to perform life saving measures before medical experts take over.
