PRCS to launch road safety card
Will train people in first aid and post crash procedures
RAWALPINDI:
The Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has launched an initiative to raise public awareness about road safety to reduce traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries and save lives.
The project will promote the ‘Individual Road Safety Commitment Card’ that is one of the initiatives set by the Global Road Safety Partnership.
Under the project, special emphasis on the post-crash response will be laid. First aid training will be imparted to traffic police and motorways police in order to boost their capacity vis-à-vis post-crash response so that maximum lives can be saved and permanent disabilities averted. The project will involve volunteers who will help promote the 10-point agenda of the Individual Road Safety Commitment Card.
