This scientific article evaluates the ability of the population to provide first aid during epidemiological emergencies based on knowledge, preparedness, and practical skills. The study used surveys, interviews, practical simulations, and statistical analysis methods. The results show that while a portion of the population possesses theoretical knowledge about first aid, practical skills remain insufficient. The findings highlight the importance of improving public preparedness systems, expanding training programs, and integrating first aid education into the educational system.
