First Aid is the initial and immediate medical assistance provided to individuals who have sustained injuries or suddenly fallen ill. It is an essential skill that aims to stabilize and support the injured or ill person until professional medical help arrives. First Aid is typically administered by laypersons or bystanders who have received basic training in managing common medical emergencies.

The primary objectives of First Aid include preserving life, preventing further harm or injury, promoting recovery, and providing comfort to the affected individual. It involves assessing the situation, identifying potential risks, and applying appropriate techniques and treatments based on the nature of the injury or illness. First Aid can be administered in various settings, including homes, workplaces, schools, public spaces, and outdoor environments.
