Under the patronage of Professor Dr. Samira Naji Kazem, Dean of the College of Science for Women, the Department of Physics, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit, organized a workshop titled First Aid for Home Accidents. The workshop was presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zahra Adel Mahmoud, M.M. Sahar Thamer Addai, and M.M. Iman Adnan.
The goal of the workshop was to highlight home accidents that lead to injuries within the household, which require prompt and effective intervention to minimize damage and preserve the life of the injured person. First aid skills are essential and should be learned and mastered. The workshop covered the most common home accidents and the best ways to deal with them, such as burns, cuts, food poisoning or chemical poisoning, choking from an obstruction in the airway or toxic gases, bone and joint injuries, fainting due to medical conditions or falling, and sudden bleeding.
The workshop emphasized the importance of staying calm and acting wisely in such situations, as fear and panic can lead to negative outcomes that harm the injured person. First aid is the first step in saving a life, and it is crucial for every family member to learn the basics of first aid to be prepared to handle emergencies quickly and safely. This also supports the achievement of sustainable development goals for maintaining good health and well-being.
