In this episode of Beyond Your Title, Omodara chats with Dr Oluwatosin Osikoya, Founder of Levande Healthcare, about what really happens within the emergency response system in Nigeria and how citizens can help when emergencies occur. Emergencies don’t give notice. Someone collapses. A child chokes. A situation escalates, and panic sets in. Dr Tosin explains why panic is often the greatest danger and why the first rule of first aid is simple but vital: ensure there is no danger to yourself before stepping in. This discussion challenges assumptions about emergency response and focuses on the decisions made before help arrives. It is a practical conversation about responsibility, preparedness, and how calm, informed action in the first few moments can alter outcomes. You can connect with Dr Tosin through her website:https://firstaidbylevande.com.ng/Please subscribe to Omodara’s Newsletter for professionals seeking to live a purpose-driven life with impact.
