Uttarayan is not just a festival, it is an experience that brings together families, and communities. The sight of the sky dotted with kites is nothing short of magic. However, this enchantment does not come without its set of challenges. The festival’s essence, which involves massive gatherings and widespread kite flying, often leads to congested streets and crowded spaces. This escalation in outdoor activities raises the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
One of the main concerns during Uttarayan is the use of sharp kite strings, which can cause unintended injuries to both kite flyers and bystanders. The emergency departments at HCG Hospitals are well-aware of these risks and are equipped to handle such injuries with promptness and efficiency. Additionally, the crowded spaces can lead to situations needing immediate medical attention, whether due to physical injuries or health issues like dehydration or sunstroke.
By understanding these festive challenges, HCG Hospitals emphasises the importance of having accessible emergency services. Whether it is a need for an ambulance service or specialised medical transport, our facilities are prepared to respond swiftly. This preparedness is not just about handling emergencies but also about ensuring that the spirit of Uttarayan is celebrated with health and safety as top priorities.
Avoid Terrace Accidents: When flying kites from terraces, be extremely cautious. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement that may lead to a slip or fall. Always ensure barriers are secure and avoid leaning over edges. In case of a fall, HCG Hospitals’ emergency services provide rapid and expert care.
Maintain Social Distancing: With the resurgence of COVID-19, it is vital to maintain distance, and avoid large gatherings. This helps prevent the spread of the virus and reduces the strain on healthcare facilities, including emergency services.
Beware of Electric Wires: Ensure your kites or strings do not come into contact with high-tension electric wires. Electrocution injuries are serious and require immediate emergency treatment, available at HCG Hospitals.
Eat Healthily and Stay Hydrated: Balance indulgence with healthy choices and stay hydrated. This helps avoid health issues that could lead to a need for emergency services.
Rest and Sun Protection: Take breaks to avoid exhaustion and use sunscreen to prevent sunburn. HCG Hospitals’ emergency care is available for severe cases, but prevention is the key.
Wear Helmets: Always protect yourself with a helmet while driving. This is crucial in preventing head injuries, a common emergency care scenario, especially during festivals like Uttarayan.
Be Cautious of Kite Strings: Drive slowly in kite-flying areas to avoid injuries from strings. These can cause severe neck and eye injuries, often treated in emergency departments.
Follow Traffic Rules: Adherence to traffic regulations is vital for your safety, helping to reduce the risk of accidents and the consequent need for emergency services.
Use Bird-Friendly Strings: Choose strings that are safe for birds, avoiding glass-coated or metallic options. This helps in reducing bird injuries, a common issue during Uttarayan.
Create Safe Spaces: Provide water and food for birds in open spaces to create a safer environment for them. This is crucial, as injured birds often require care from animal welfare organizations or emergency services.
Immediate Help for Injured Birds: If you come across injured birds, contact local animal welfare organisations for assistance.
