The theme of this year's World First Aid Day is "First Aid in Migration Contexts". This highlights the importance of first aid for people who may be at risk during their journey, regardless of their destination. First aid can make a significant difference between life and death in such situations.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies recognizes the diverse needs of migrants, using a broad definition of the term to include anyone who has been displaced, regardless of their reasons for leaving or legal status. This includes asylum seekers, refugees, and others. Further information on World First Aid Day and the issues surrounding migration and first aid is available from the source.
