UP CM Yogi Adityanath launches Hindi edition of ‘The Red Book of Emergency – Life Saving Tips’
Lucknow ( Raghwendra Pratap Singh) : Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath unveiled the Hindi edition of ‘The Red Book of Emergency – Life Saving Tips’, a book aimed at improving public awareness about medical emergencies and life-saving interventions.
The book, authored by Dr Lokendra Gupta and co-authored by Dr Utsav Anand Mani, seeks to help people recognise warning signs of medical emergencies and take timely action during the crucial ‘golden hour’ before professional medical care is available.
The Hindi edition was launched in Lucknow in the presence of the chief minister. According to the authors, the book has been written in simple language to make emergency-related information accessible to a wider audience, including people in rural and urban areas.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Gupta said his experience of working in emergency medicine for more than two decades had shown that many patients reach hospitals too late because families fail to recognise the seriousness of an emergency or delay seeking appropriate treatment.
The publication includes information on recognising critical warning signs, responding to heart attacks, strokes, trauma, burns, poisoning, severe infections and other life-threatening conditions. It also addresses common misconceptions related to medical emergencies and contains QR codes linking readers to educational videos and awareness material.
