In combat situations, it is not always possible to hospitalise the wounded immediately. However, some critical injuries in the military require an emergency response, and any delay in providing medical care can lead to deterioration or even death. That's why it's so important to know how to effectively help those injured on the battlefield.
In times of war, both military and civilians need to know how to provide first aid. If you understand the algorithm of actions, you will be more confident in controlling your behaviour in an emergency and help the victim. Basic knowledge can save lives. In this article, we will tell you about first aid and where you can learn it in Ukraine.
