Sonal was watching the news – tensions between India and Pakistan were rising. Her heart raced. She glanced at her parents, her little daughter, and her husband, who needed daily medication.

“Are we prepared if things get worse?” she whispered.

A quick check of the medicine cabinet turned her fear into resolve. Expired tablets, missing basics. That night, Sonal made a decision – they would be ready.

 Why an Emergency Medical Kit Matters?

In times of conflict, healthcare access can become a challenge. Pharmacies may run out of essential supplies, roads could be blocked, and hospitals may become overcrowded. In such times, having a well-prepared emergency medical kit is not just about convenience—it’s about survival.

What to Pack in Your Emergency Medical Kit?

•⁠  ⁠Everyday Medications: Paracetamol for pain and fever, ibuprofen for inflammation, antacids for acidity, allergy tablets, and ORS for dehydration.

•⁠  ⁠Prescription Medicines: At least a month’s supply for any ongoing treatments, including diabetes, hypertension, or asthma.

•⁠  ⁠First Aid Basics: Band-aids, antiseptic lotion, cotton, gauze, tape, thermometer, and a basic first-aid manual for emergencies.

•⁠  ⁠Health Devices: Blood pressure monitor, glucometer, pulse oximeter, and an inhaler for those with respiratory issues.

•⁠  ⁠Cold & Flu Care: Cough syrup, throat lozenges, steam inhaler, Vicks, and a nasal spray.

•⁠  ⁠Wound Care: Antiseptic cream, burn ointment, sterile gloves, scissors, and sterile bandages.

•⁠  ⁠Eye & Ear Drops: For irritation, dryness, or infections.

•⁠  ⁠Multi-Purpose Tools: Tweezers, a flashlight, a pair of sterile scissors, and a pocket knife.
