International Day of the World First Aid Day
Organizer
International Committee of the Red Cross
When: annually, September 9.
International Day of the World First Aid Day is here to focus the attention on the importance of primary emergency care, and first aid.
The International Day of the World First Aid Day has been around since 2000 and is an initiative of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. On this day, people should be made aware of the importance of life-saving first aid and the importance of access to care. Especially in areas where this is hardly possible, if at all. Think of war zones or areas affected by natural disasters.
