Do you dare to provide first aid in case of accidents?

Do you dare to provide first aid in case of accidents?

Do you know what to do in emergency situations and do you dare to intervene? Even the people who have followed a first aid course have some doubts. Not everyone dares to provide first aid, even though the first minutes are often crucial.

The figures that emerge from the research of the Red Cross are less good than a few years ago. One third of first aiders do not want to resuscitate. 75 percent of the people with a diploma would offer help with a bleeding. This is 40 percent for people without a diploma.

The Red Cross sells first aid courses and now wants to market them better. If you have not completed a first aid course, there is a free app that guides you through emergency situations. You can download the app here.
