Three practical points

  1. Group clean dressings, plasters and disposable gloves in a clearly marked container.
  2. Check packaging, expiry dates and missing items. Replace anything opened, damaged or used.
  3. Add a simple contact and transport plan. Keep supplies accessible to responsible adults and away from children.

In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
