There used to be a time when the First Aid Box used to be essential part of every house to take care of any unfortunate accident. The first aid was administered by the familymembers thus filling avacuumbetween the time taken for the individual to reach the hospital. Because of lack of education and requisitetraining at the educational institutions, this practice has somehow been done away with without realizing its importance. We grew up with acompulsorytraining imparted every year to ensure that each individual has the basic understanding of how to help someone in case of an emergency. The First Aid Box consisted of painre-leavers, thermometer, medications for well known ailments, sterile saline, gauze swabs, fabric, water-proof plasters, dressings, adhesive tape, bandages,antisepticcream/lotion, disposable gloves, tweezers, scissor, safety pins, cotton buds, cling film etc. Treatment at the right time can save someones life; the point need to be understood by all.
