Why is it necessary to seek higher medical care after providing SABC?

Seeking higher medical care after providing Self-Aid and Buddy Care is essential because it allows for definitive treatment that may not be accessible through SABC. Self-Aid and Buddy Care is primarily focused on immediate interventions to stabilize a casualty and manage life-threatening conditions. However, it does not replace the need for advanced medical care, which is necessary for comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries or illnesses.

Higher medical care can provide advanced diagnostics, specialized treatment options, and a full range of medical interventions that SABC is not designed to deliver, such as surgeries, imaging studies, and long-term rehabilitation. It's important to understand that while SABC plays a critical role in the initial response to a medical emergency, many situations require further care to ensure a complete recovery and to address underlying health issues effectively.
