First Aid Guide for Child Care and School Emergencies
This flipchart (2016) is a quick reference guide for administering emergency care to an injured or ill individual. It contains practical, step-by-step instructions that describe what to do when caring for an injured or ill person. It replaces a previous edition published in 2003. The guide was reviewed in 2022, and no updates were made to its content, as it remained consistent with current standards and practices.
