                       who renders aid in an emergency to an
                       injured person on a voluntary basis”.
                       The Ministry of Road Transport and Highway has
                       published the Indian Good Samaritan and

                    Samaritans.
                    Following guidelines are included (sub-selection of
                    the guidelines):
                    1. A bystander or Good Samaritan, including an

                    the nearest hospital and should be allowed to leave
                    immediately. The eyewitness has to provide his
                    address. No questions are to be asked.
                    2. The bystander or Good Samaritan shall not be
                    liable for any civil and criminal liability.

                    for the person lying injured on the road cannot be
                    compelled to give his name or personal details on the
                    phone or in person. The disclosure of contact details
                    of the Good Samaritan is to be voluntary.
                    4. The lack of response by a (medical) doctor in an
                    emergency pertaining to road accidents (Where he is

                    CONSENT OF THE PERSON IN NEED
                    A conscious person has the right to either refuse or
                    accept care. If the person is conscious, you must ask
                    for his consent before commencing any first aid. If he
                    refuses your help, stay nearby and call the police and
                    emergency services, who can then deal with the
                    situation.
                    PRIVACY
                    In any first aid situation, the first aider must take
                    steps to assist the person to maintain personal
                    privacy. This means things like, keeping crowds
                    away, putting up a screen if necessary, and covering
                    any exposed body parts with blankets, or sheets, if
                    available. The first aider also needs to take steps to
                    maintain confidentiality.

mts   IMPORTANT POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED BY
      FIRST-AIDERS
      1. First-Aiders must always remain calm and assess
      the situation first before rushing to help the victim.
      2. First Aiders must ensure to remove any dangers
      from the casualty, or remove the casualty from
      dangers, and prevent the crowding of casualties by
      bystanders
      3. It is important that the First-Aiders -call for
      appropriate help as per the assessment of the
      situation.
      4. As most first aid treatment does involve touching
      the victim, it is very important that the First Aider
gains their permission, so as to avoid causing offence
or distress.

any injury or sudden illness at the spot of occurrence
before medical aid is available, with the materials on
