At the time of accident, phone may get crushed, or there may be a screen lock. Licence information may be faded or not available. But this card if found in wallet or somewhere in pocket of victim, would give all requisite information about the victim at the go. His loved ones can be contacted immediately which would provide the necessary logistic support. On reaching the hospital, doctor would get to know all his requisite information before hand by looking at this card.

This Card is carrying three ICE contact numbers, medical allergies, blood group and medical history of the patient lying unconscious on the hospital stretcher. Dr Gulia stressed that the Card information should be filled with great authenticity and accuracy. If they are not aware about their medical allergies and blood group, they should get it tested from anywhere and fill the information in card, so that God Forbid if Trauma happens this card could save their life.
