World First Aid Day Celebrated with Focus on Migration

Kathmandu. World First Aid Day is being celebrated today with the theme 'First Aid in the Context of Migration'. Internal and external migration is increasing worldwide due to various reasons. In Nepal too, people migrate in search of disaster, flood, landslide, and other emergencies and opportunities.

On this occasion, the Nepal Red Cross Society stated in a press release on Friday, 'Migration journey is not easy and can face various obstacles such as uncertain living conditions, lack of livelihood, barriers to access basic health services, use of risky routes, lack of information about language, culture, geography, lack of training, etc., can cause migrants to experience loneliness, irritability, fatigue, mental stress, deterioration of health status, illness, and mental distress.'
