What are the first-aid kit essentials for every home?
A well-stocked first-aid kit is a must for every home. Having the right supplies will ensure you can handle an emergency at a moment’s notice.
Ask the pharmacist
We chatted to pharmacist, Yasin Khan to ask him what the essentials are that he would pack in his first-aid kit.
Yasin worked as a pharmacist dispensing medication for over 9 years before furthering his studies and completing an MBA and for this reason we couldn’t think of a more experienced person in the pharmaceutical industry to share insight into the necessities for a first-aid box.
“Remember, these first-aid kit items should aid with battling 80% of the problems that people normally encounter. A first-aid kit is not for long term treatment, it’s aim is to stabilise until you are able to seek further medical attention” says Yasin.
