Abstract : This review focuses on developing biomedical first-aid (FA) technologies and its affordable rational use for the pre-hospital control of bleeding in external haemorrhage from limb extremities after traumatic injury. Public academic research hand in hand with government policies such as “Make-in-India” campaign could be explored for it. Pharmacists have unique skill set due to technological and clinical training in therapeutics. Subsequently, they can be given advanced training for the R&D and rational use of these haemostatic FAs for emergency care; particularly in rural areas of developing world. This may improve the accessibility and affordability of the medical technologies in the developing world.
