WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW TO PROVIDE FIRST AID

In case of an accident, you may be the first or only person able to provide assistance. Knowing how to provide first aid and improving your skills will help reduce stress and manage the situation. Wasting time can be crucial to the victim’s life. Moral principles and the laws of the Republic of Lithuania require you to provide first aid (see “Law amending the Law on the Registration of Human Death and Critical Conditions” No. IX-836 of April 4, 2002)
