🚑 TRIAGE: Sort • Prioritize • Save Lives

Triage is the backbone of emergency care. It helps healthcare professionals quickly identify who needs immediate attention and who can safely wait. By focusing on Airway, Breathing, and Circulation (ABC), lives are saved and resources are used wisely.

🔴 Red P1 – Immediate, life-threatening
🟡 Yellow P2 – Serious but can wait
🟢 Green P3 – Minor injuries
⚫ Black P4 – Expectant / no signs of life

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Fast decisions. Smart priorities. Better outcomes.
