World First Aid day is an annual campaign aimed at promoting the importance of first aid training and increasing its accessibility to save more lives in a crisis. When a person suffers from minor or serious injury or illness, the first and immediate assistance given to the patient is termed as 'First Aid'.

First Aid helps preserve and save lives and also plays an important role in preventing the situation from getting worse. It promotes recovery and, in many cases, first aid may be necessary to keep the victim alive before he/she can be taken to the hospital or before a doctor arrives for more specialised treatment.

World First Aid Day 2021: Theme The theme for World First Aid Day 2021 is 'First aid and road safety', according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
