Training the population in first aid skills is a traditional activity of the International Red Cross Movement. No one ever knows when or where an emergency will happen. And it is important to know how to act in order to save the life of the injured person before the arrival of an ambulance, since in the first minutes after the incident the fate of the health and life of the injured person is decided. Correctly provided first aid shortens the treatment time, promotes the fastest healing of wounds and is often a decisive factor in saving the victim’s life, the organizers said.
