The minutes immediately after a road accident - often called the 'golden hour' - matter enormously. Calm, correct first aid can keep a person stable until trained help arrives.
1. Make the scene safe
Protect yourself first. Switch on hazard lights, move to a safe spot if possible, and be aware of traffic before approaching anyone.
2. Call for help
Call our emergency number immediately and share the exact location and number of people injured.
3. Control heavy bleeding
- Press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth.
- Keep pressing; add more cloth on top rather than removing it.
In an emergency, call us right away - our Advanced Trauma Care Unit and ICU are open 24×7.
