What to do in a medical emergency?

Assess the urgency of the medical condition. Is the person conscious? Are they breathing? Do they have severe bleeding?

Call for help. Dial the appropriate ambulance service. Be ready to provide specific details about your location, the nature of the emergency, and any landmarks that might help the ambulance reach you faster.

Provide necessary information. Describe the condition of the patient briefly and clearly.

Lastly, prepare for the ambulance's arrival. If possible, have someone wait outside to flag down the ambulance. Clear any obstacles that could impede the paramedics' access to the patient.

Emergencies can strike unexpectedly, but being prepared can help you manage them more effectively. Knowing how to call for help is as vital as the medical intervention itself. Equip yourself and your loved ones with the knowledge and readiness to call the right people at the right time. Stay prepared, stay safe.
