As a nation we seem to be living from tragedy to tragedy relating to accidents whether man made or as a
result of natural disasters, of which we appear to have a fair share. We have to suffer the
consequences of accidents at swimming pools, rivers and lakes, on beaches, railways and roads or
those involving air travel and aircraft. In the absence of any national para-medical organization
in the country, a general lack of "First Aid" awareness and due to the callous attitude of a people,
many accident victims die when they should have lived. They would live if they receive timely first aid and
professional medical assistance. The police harassment of those, who try and assist, does
not help either
