It is dreadful that such things still happen! I think strict legislations have to be put in place by the government of India. All people carriers, let it be trains or flights Must have a Fully equip first aid kit. Items like bandages and basic necessities have to be checked before a flight takes off from the ground and trains depart from main junctions.

A few weeks ago I was traveling by Indigo airlines. I had a deep paper cut on board. And required a bandage. On asking the airhostess I learnt they had run out of bandages!! A very basic first aid item.

I know that staff on flights are trained to pass basic levels of first aid training. Even railway staff should have to go through rigorous training.

I also feel that First Aid should become part of children's Biology curriculum in schools. ANd must be treated with a practical approch. A more informed today can bring a clearer tomorrow.
