What to do when you encounter an accident?
      No one ever wants an accident to occur, but if it does, staying calm and knowing the right steps to take can minimize harm and increase survival chances. Here’s a guide on what to do whether you are involved in an accident yourself or witness one happening to someone else.

• Stay Calm & Assess the Situation Check the number of injured individuals, the severity of their injuries, and any potential risks that could cause further danger.
• Call Emergency Services Immediately Dial 1669 (Emergency Medical Services) or 191 (Police) and provide accurate details such as the location, number of injured individuals, and the nature of the accident.
• Provide Basic First Aid Apply pressure to stop bleeding, ensure the injured person is in a safe position, and perform CPR if trained.
• For Road Accidents Move your vehicle to a safe location, turn on hazard lights, document the incident, exchange information with other parties, and inform your insurance provider.
• Important DON’Ts Do not move an injured person unless necessary, do not give food or water to an unconscious person, and do not leave an injured person unattended.

      Safety is the most important thing! Knowing how to act when an accident occurs can help reduce risks and increase the chances of survival for yourself and others. Additionally, choosing a hospital that is well equipped to handle accidents considering factors such as a convenient location for transporting the injured, a medical team ready to provide care, and the necessary medical equipment to facilitate treatment is another crucial aspect to consider when faced with an accident.
