First aid is the initial support and intervention of the rescuer with the victim, injured, acutely ill person. If you are the first person on the scene, when approaching the victim, you should immediately give first aid to the victim using your knowledge and available means, and at the same time immediately call for help and call for emergency medical support.

An emergency kit can help you respond to injuries or other serious situations. Prepare for the unexpected by having a first aid kit that can be useful if you need to evacuate your home.

A first aid kit includes the tools and supplies needed for initial first aid. A first aid kit should be available everywhere (at home, in the car, at work, in public places...) so that it can be used immediately when situations requiring first aid arise.
