“Approve the attached First Aid Procedure,” the draft says.

For example, it is planned to allow the provision of first aid without the consent of the victim, parents or legal representative, if there is no refusal of the citizen expressed before the start of its provision. It is also permitted to provide assistance following instructions from the dispatcher to receive a call for emergency assistance. In this case, it will be possible to use individual medications and improvised means that are not included in first aid kits.

The list of conditions for which first aid can be provided includes lack of consciousness, cessation of breathing or heartbeat, obstruction of the airways by a foreign body, various external bleeding, injuries, wounds and lesions, etc.

Russian President Vladimir Putin previously visited a special exhibition of the Future Technologies Forum, where he was presented with advanced Russian medical technologies and developments.

In January, the governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, ordered that officials and public sector employees be trained in first aid.
