Why Medik Awas?
A person known to be hypersensitive to a drug, such as penicilin or tetanus antitoxin, must be so identified, as administration of the offending drug can lead to a violent, if not fatal reaction. Similarly, a patient suffering from a chronic disease, like bleeding tendency or diabetes, should carry a warning message. In the event of an accident or complication of the disease, immediate recognition of his condition can save his life. Patients on long-term course of drugs, e.g. steriods or anticoagulants, are identified in the same manner, as the therapy itself may give rise to hazardous side-effects.
All these patients and others with different hidden problems should enrol with Medik Awas and carry an identification card as a protection in an emergency. If a patient is unable to tell his medical history after an accident or sudden illness, the card may just save his life.
