During our journey, we may come across road traffic accidents. Being a responsible citizen, we always try to help in these situations. In view of that, we must know the basics of first aid because it is a matter of life and death. First aid is the initial care provided to a suddenly sick or injured person before arrival of the ambulance services or a doctor. Aims of First Aid are to:

• Preserve life
• Prevent the condition worsening
• Promote recovery
