Abstract
Madam, first aid and basic life support (BLS) as the name implies refers to the immediate life-saving protocols designed to minimise the complications of injury until advance treatment is available. Due to unavailability of urgent medical aid to the victims, thousands of lives are lost every year as a result of both man-made and natural disasters. The 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, floods in Sindh and the recent factory fires in Karachi and Lahore are some examples.
