FIRST AID

First Aid, As is known the world over has been practiced ever since the inception of Humanity. In India the historical evidence of rendering first aid to the wounded and sick is available in our history quoting a very few- the wars of Mahabharata, the Mughals and the Sikhs, during the natural and man made calamities.

First Aid to the sick and wounde is what light to the one confronted with depressing darkness. Not all will be aware that Mahatma Gandhi, whom we all fondly refer to as the Father of Nation, who was the torchbearer of the struggle for the freedom of our country from British rule, led a band of dedicated Ambulance Corps in 906 at he time of Zulu Rebellion and earlier in 1899 at the time of Boer War in South Africa, and that he himself carried the wounded General Buller to the base hospital. Such Acts of mercy to the suffering- friend or foe- inspired Indian Volunteers in South Africa to perform gallant deeds.

Learning First Aid is the civic responsibility of each citizen. Even though methods of First Aid have been practiced ever since a man desired to help another man in sickness or after injury, an organised worldwide effort at giving first aid came only in the year 1877 with the formation of St. John Ambulance Association of England.

St John Ambulance of Narasinha Dutt College provides a training course on First Aid.

So What are you waiting for, Join St John Ambulance of Narasinha Dutt College and learn the life saving methods.

HOME NURSING

St. John Ambulance of Narasinha Dutt College also provides a basic training course on Nursing and Home Nursing to its members.

Nursing is the art of caring for any person who is sick, so that he or she may derive the maximum benefit from the treatments ordered by the doctor. This cares include both the mental and physical welfare of the patient. Patients who are acutely ill will usually be admitted to hospital where they can receive the expert care of trained nurses, and where the equipment of modern science is available for their treatment. However, there will be many people who can be nursed at home, either because their illness is not such as to require hospital treatment or because they have been discharged from hospital to complete their convalescence in the quiet and comfort of their own homes, and it is these people whom you will particularly be able to help.

It is the purpose of St. John Ambulance - Narasinha Dutt College to try to help those who wish to learn the basic principle of nursing care so that they will be of the utmost use to the sick whether working in their own homes or as auxiliary staff in hospital wards.
