Keep Your Children Safe!
The emergency transportation of the children aged 5 and under as well as elderly patients shows the largest number. Children have poor awareness of dangers, and so keeping them from dangers is difficult. To protect children, family members should learn from past accidents and take necessary measures. Looking at the percentage of children’s major accidents and moderate level injuries with hospital care needed, we realize that the majority of emergency transportation is due to “Falling” and “Tripping.” Falling from heights could be fatal. Be careful!
