We at RADHEE wish no one should ever suffer from any health issue or accident. Preparedness, practicing safety measures, precautions, and prevention are intellectual approaches.
Need for Personal Emergency Information Card:
Sudden acute health emergencies like an accident, heart attack, epileptic fit, unconsciousness, etc., have a risk to survival. These emergencies need medical help in the Golden Hour to save a life and promote early recovery.
Our mobile has all the information, but when a person is alone on the road, it is found that mobile is not helpful during sudden health emergencies, especially when a person is alone on the road with a sudden medical emergency. It is seen that mobile may get stolen or damaged or is password protected are a few reasons one needs a physical copy of a “Personal Emergency Information Card.”
During a sudden health emergency, when a person is not at home or not accompanied by a family member. In such a situation, bystanders, colleagues, or police take a patient to the hospital.
Knowing personal emergency information helps to inform family members on earliest. Knowing medical history at the emergency ward helps doctors to plan treatment in the right direction. Right treatment ensures no medical complications and promotes early recovery. For hospital admission or emergency surgery, consent of the family member is mandatory, so early reaching of family members to the hospital is vital to save a life.
Think carefully, and consult your doctor while filling in the information. Each person in the family should have a separate card. Once you fill in your details, download the card and print it, laminate it and always carry it with you. You can create your new card once again if any information is changed. Do share the link with relatives, friends, and known people so they can prepare their “Personal Emergency Information Card.”
RADHEE Disaster and Education Foundation is committed to saving lives and reducing complications, thus promoting early recovery. Early recovery means a lesser amount of medical bills, reduces the burden on health care infrastructure and creates a bed for other patients.
Creating Personal Emergency Information Card is a free service but your generous support in terms of donations for administrative costs and reaching the maximum number of people is valuable to us.
