What would you do in the event of a domestic accident?

Falls, illnesses, poisoning, burns… nearly 20.000 deaths are caused each year by domestic accidents. According to a recent survey, barely more than one in two citizens has been introduced to first aid. However, these gestures could avoid a tragedy in many cases.

Home accidents are the third leading cause of death in France. Almost 11 million people are injured each year. Figures that make you think. The volunteers of the regional delegation of the Red Cross of Saint-Martin offer to train you in life saving skills. The delegation will organize a training day (60 euros) in a small group on Saturday, explains Linda, the person in charge of emergencies and first aid. Normally, these sessions are held twice a month, but due to the holidays, numbers are down, she says. Those interested in this session are requested to register by phone at the following number: 0690 415 415.
"Can you save?"
The French Cardiology Federation recently launched an awareness campaign on the Web so that Internet users can test their knowledge using a quiz. You too can take the online test at the following address:www.fedecardio.org/saveyousave/

We remind you that the offices of the Red Cross delegation will be closed next month. All the volunteers wish you happy holidays.
