WORLD FIRST AID DAY
September 11, 2024
World First Aid Day is observed annually on the second Saturday of September to promote awareness about the importance of first aid in saving lives. In 2024, it was celebrated on September 14 with the theme “First Aid and Sports”, highlighting the need for immediate medical attention in sports-related injuries.
First aid refers to simple, life-saving measures that anyone can perform with minimal equipment and no prior medical training. Its main objectives are to preserve life, promote recovery, prevent further harm, and ensure safe transportation to healthcare facilities.
At our institution, the World First Aid Day program was organized by the Mathematics Department, led by Ms. Athira Sunil P. She delivered an informative talk on the importance of first aid and conducted a quiz to raise awareness among students.
