Global First Aid Reference Centre GFARC

The Global First Aid Reference Centre is an IFRC Centre of excellence created in 2012. Its objectives are to reduce the number of deaths and the severity of injuries as well as to make people and communities more resilient using first aid. To achieve this, the team works closely with National Societies to facilitate knowledge sharing between them and to promote first aid education at the global level. In order to ensure that first aid techniques are relevant to any country and any situation, the centre participates in numerous studies undertaken by medical doctors, scientists and researchers.
