Krasnoyarsk residents were reminded of the safety rules for children during the winter holidays

Residents of Krasnoyarsk were reminded of the basic principles of injury prevention during winter walks and skiing.

According to the regional Ministry of Health, every year in the children's traumatology and surgical departments of Krasnoyarsk Hospital No. 20 named after I. S. Berzon More than 1,500 children receive medical care.

“The most important thing is not to ignore the injury. If, after a fall, a child complains of pain, cannot step on a leg or lean on an arm, or has swelling or a hematoma, do not self-medicate. “It will go away on its own” is the worst tactic. A timely examination by a doctor is the key to ensuring that the fracture heals correctly, without consequences for the growth and function of the limb,” reported in the Ministry of Health of the region.
