First Aid in Road Accidents

by Dr. Ovidiu Popa

Road accidents are an extremely common occurrence, resulting in approximately 1.35 million deaths worldwide each year.

Over 50% of these deaths happen in the first few minutes after the accident, and are preventable with a timely First Aid response.

With distressed patients and often critical cases, how do we primarily respond in such situations? Join us with Dr. Ovidiu Popa this Friday at the UMF Simulation Centre to learn everything you need to know about providing First Aid and saving lives!
