The First Aid Council of India (FACI) was established to address the growing need for First Aid education, emergency preparedness, and life-saving awareness in India.

With increasing medical emergencies, road accidents, disasters, and public safety challenges, timely First Aid support has become a necessity rather than an optional skill.

India records lakhs of road accidents annually, leading to significant injuries and loss of life. Studies and emergency care experts emphasize the importance of the "Golden Hour" — the critical first hour after an accident or medical emergency — during which timely First Aid intervention can substantially improve survival rates.

Immediate support such as:

• CPR assistance
• Bleeding control
• Airway management
• Fracture stabilization
• Rapid emergency response

can save lives before advanced medical care becomes available.

Despite growing emergencies, structured First Aid education remains limited in many schools, institutions, workplaces, and communities. FACI recognized this urgent national requirement and was founded to promote:

• Practical First Aid awareness
• Emergency preparedness education
• CPR awareness
• Disaster response education
• Public safety consciousness

FACI believes:

First Aid is not only a medical skill — it is a humanitarian responsibility and an essential life skill for every citizen.

Guided by the belief:

"शिक्षा भी । सेवा भी । रोजगार भी ।"

FACI continues working toward building a more aware, skilled, responsible, and emergency-prepared society.
