Is it safe to have injectable drugs onboard?
Answer – Ideally injection techniques should be learnt in an official medical course. (MCA Medical Courses) But giving an injection can be essential to the survival or future health of a patient and it is often not possible to defer the treatment. Even without formal training injections can be taught over the radio as well as using diagrams and videos. If, for example, the patient has a condition such as anaphylactic shock (allergy shock), meningitis, appendicitis, severe vomiting, heart attack etc., both the facility to give injections and injectable medicines are essential under guidance.
