Awareness of First Aid is need

What is First Aid?
First aid can be defined as a first helped or first need in between incident and hospitalization or to handover to the specialization. We also call First Aid ‘Ibtadiye Tibi Imdaad’ in Roman Urdu.

Why First Aid awareness is needed?
We usually see the incidents like accidents on road, mental shock cases, bomb blasts, electric shock cases etc. But many of the patients died because they didn’t get first aid in the way between accident and hospitalization. That’s why awareness of first aid is need for all citizens, and they have to apply.

Real Cases, saw by me:
Accident on road:
I saw a biker got accident with the truck, and he got died because of not getting proper first aid in ambulance which was on the way to hospital.

Bomb Blast:
On Aashura Bomb Blast in Karachi, I saw many patients who didn’t got proper first aid and stretchers, and many of the people didn’t know how to take patients through stretchers and on that occasion there was also a lack of stretchers and people didn’t know how to take them properly to the hospital.

Conclusion
People have to know about First Aid, especially about how to take patients to hospital via stretcher or without stretcher.

I am very thankful to organization named CUBE who organized the great event today in UIT, Karachi named “First Aid – Awareness is to need”.

Air Launched Cruise Missile, Hatf-VIII (Ra’ad)


 
Pakistan, today conducted a successful Flight Test of the indigenously developed Air Launched Cruise Missile, Hatf-VIII (Ra’ad).  The Ra’ad Missile, with a range of over 350 KM, enables Pakistan to achieve strategic standoff capability on land and at Sea. ‘Cruise Technology’ is extremely complex and has been developed by only a few countries in the world.  The state of the art Ra’ad Cruise Missile with Stealth Capabilities is a Low Altitude, Terrain Hugging Missile with high maneuverability, and can deliver nuclear and conventional warheads with pin point accuracy.

A major additional feature of today’s test was the effective employment of the National Command Authority’s fully automated Strategic Command and Control Support System (SCCSS).  It has enabled robust Command and Control capability of all strategic assets with round the clock situational awareness in a digitized network centric environment to decision makers at National Command Centre (NCC).  The system has the added capability of real time remote monitoring of missile flight path.

The successful launch has been commended by the President, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee who have congratulated the scientists and engineers on their outstanding achievement.

RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Army has declared all the victims of Gayari sector as ‘Shuhada’ (martyrs) on Tuesday.

According to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army has declared all the victims of Gayari sector as martyrs, as nature and magnitude of the calamity is suggestive of no probability of recovering any one alive.

In this backdrop, religious scholars from all sects and factions were consulted. Aspects related to socio-religious dimensions / implications, requirements to initiate the process of documentation, and reduction of the sufferings of the bereaved families have been evaluated in detail.

Therefore, it was decided to declare the remaining brave soldiers as “Shuhada”. This is being done with mixed feelings of pride, grief and above all unflinching resolve to continue efforts to recover the remaining bodies.

The military says there is no probability of recovering any person alive. However, army authority vowed to carry on the search operation during which three out of 139 soldiers’ bodies were recovered.

“It has been decided to declare the remaining brave soldiers as Shuhada. This is being done with mixed feelings of pride, grief and above all unflinching resolve to continue all out efforts to recover the bodies of all shuhada,” ISPR said.

“Notwithstanding the resolve of troops employed on search operations, excavation work is taking time due to constraints imposed by terrain and weather,” the ISPR said in a statement.
