In Case of Emergency number is a fast spreading concept among many of the Asian countries, which had already helped many victims in need in other parts of the world
The basic idea is to have one or two contact details (Phone) to be stored in you mobile address book who are well aware of your medical history and blood group , allergies etc. and in case of emergencies the paramedics or the doctors could call these persons and find out useful information. A day back I watched an report in NDTV in which it said that one person in Mumbai highway met with an accident and was unconscious. An person who came by a bike found him, took to the hospital and called his ICE contact because of which they were able to find his medical state and give the correct treatment.
So let spread the awareness and importance of the ICE number (Off course I have added mine)
Let me conclude with “Little drops make an Ocean”
Cheers!
