    The history of first aid dates back to prehistoric times when early humans developed rudimentary methods of treating injuries like plugging wounds and splinting broken bones. The first organized group focused on medical treatment was the Order of St. John in 1099. In 1792, the French Army formed the first official medical corps to administer first aid and evacuate casualties. The Geneva Convention and Red Cross were established in the 1860s to protect injured soldiers. The term "first aid" first appeared in Britain in 1878 and referred to initial medical treatment given before further help arrived.

    FIRST AID HISTORY

    INTERNATIONAL:

    History of First AidThe term “first aid” is now an accepted part of everyday language, and there is no
    doubt that it encompasses the help and assistance given to sick and injured people, but where did the
    term “first aid” originate and who were the original “first aiders”.

    Prehistoric man, by necessity developed methods to treat the illnesses and injuries that befell him. It
    probably didn’t take long for them to realize in most cases that plugging anopen wound would
    eventually stop bleeding, or by lashing a tree branch to a broken leg would allow the casualty to hobble
    around and would help healing.

    The first recorded history of first aid dates to 1099, when a religious order of knights trained to
    administer medical treatment was formed. The Order of St John –to which the modern day St John
    Ambulance organization traces its roots- specialized in the treatment of battlefield injuries during the
    crusades and are the first recorded example of people trained to administer first aid. In 1792, the French
    Army Surgeon General, formed the first official army medical corps. People were trained and equipped
    for working away from the field hospitals.

    Their task was to administer first aid on the battlefield and where necessary remove the casualty to the
    field hospital by carrying them or on carts.During the 1860’s the first Geneva Convention and the
    International Red Cross came into being to protect and deal with sick and injured soldiers on the
    battlefield. Both resulted from the work begun by Henry Dunant, a Swiss man, who had witnessed
    soldiers of both sides, being left to die with horrific injuries during the Battle of Solferino in 1859.

    A short time later, an army surgeon first came up with the idea of training civilians in what was termed
    “pre-medical treatment”. The late 1800’s saw drastic changes with the formations of what we now know
    as the modern day British Red Cross (1870) and St John Ambulance (1877). In 1878, the term “first aid”
    first appeared in Britain and is thought to be derived from “first treatment” and “National Aid”. Thus the
    history of first aid was born

    PHILIPPINES :

    The PRC was established in 1947, with roots in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. It
    was initially involved only in the provision of blood and short-term palliatives as well as participation in
    disaster-related activities but they now focus on a wider array of humanitarian services.At present, the
    PRC provides six major services: National Blood Services, Disaster Management Services, Safety Services,
    Health Services, Welfare Services and Red Cross Youth.[1] The National Headquarters of the PRC is
    located at 37 EDSA corner Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila.
