Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World First Aid Day 2026 will be observed on September 12, which falls on the second Saturday of September. The day highlights the importance of basic lifesaving skills and first-aid knowledge during emergencies. The theme for 2026 is “First Aid in Migration Contexts”, emphasising the need for emergency care and lifesaving techniques among migrants, refugees, and displaced people. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies initiated World First Aid Day in 2000. It is observed annually with a new theme to promote awareness, encourage appropriate first-aid training, and help people respond effectively to accidents and sudden medical emergencies.
