What is “Preventive First Aid”?

Some injuries treated in EMS and transported by ambulances are preventable with a little caution.
“Preventive First Aid” is the action to consciously avoid major injuries called for emergency by understanding and keeping in mind the risks of bodily harm on daily basis.

Let’s start up “Preventive First Aid”!

In Atsugi, as seen in fig.1, number of ambulance dispatch and people transported  by EMS has been increasing year by year, and continuous increase is estimated in the future due to the increase of  aging population.
