Emergencies Don’t Wait — Be Prepared

Festivals bring crowds, fireworks, and excitement — but also an increase in medical emergencies like burns, injuries, asthma attacks, or food poisoning. Knowing what to do in the first few minutes can save a life.

Common Festive Emergencies

• Burns or firecracker injuries
• Accidents or fractures
• Asthma or breathing issues due to smoke
• Food poisoning or vomiting
• Heart attack or fainting spells

Step-by-Step: What to Do in an Emergency

• Stay calm and assess: Ensure your own safety first.
• Call for help: Dial the hospital’s emergency number or 108 ambulance service.
• Provide basic first aid:
• Burns Pour cool (not cold) water.
• Bleeding Apply pressure with a clean cloth.
• Fainting Lay person flat, elevate legs slightly.
• Do not self-medicate: Avoid applying toothpaste or home remedies on burns.
• Keep patient conscious and reassured until help arrives.

Emergency Preparedness Checklist

• Save hospital emergency contacts (like We Care Superspeciality Hospital) in your phone.
• Keep a first-aid kit ready at home and in your vehicle.
