Awareness Programme on First Aid

First aid is the first and immediate assistance given to any person suffering from either a minor or serious illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or promote recovery. It includes initial intervention in a serious condition before professional medical help is available, such as performing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) while waiting for an ambulance, as well as the complete treatment of minor conditions, such as applying a plaster to a cut. First aid is generally performed by someone with basic medical training.

Universal School of Administration in collaboration with the Indian Youth Red Cross Wing (IYRCW) organised an ‘Awareness Programme on First Aid’ on the 27th of November 2021. The Guest Speaker was Dr. Nagarjun K. P. (MD, CSD, DPH)
