YouTube makes first-aid information easier to find with new shelves،
YouTube is one of the apps we spend most of our time with, so every new update and feature it offers is a welcome addition. Just recently, YouTube launched a new tool for creators and is now rolling out a new one for its users in need.
Youtube simplifies the way we experience step-by-step first aid and emergency care videos. Authoritative health organizations are behind these new videos, which are now prominently placed at the top of search results. With the new First Aid Information Shelves, you can quickly access credible, actionable information without complex instructions.
These shelves cover key health topics such as CPR, choking, Heimlich, bleeding, heart attacks, strokes, seizures and opioid overdoses.

YouTube Health partnered with Mass General Brigham and the Mexican Red Cross to upload content. Their videos, alongside others from leading healthcare organizations, cover CPR, stopping bleeding, and helping someone in the event of an overdose.
The new health first aid information shelves are launching in English and Spanish in the United States. However, the company promises that the new feature will be rolled out to more countries and more languages soon.
Merranda Logan, MD, MPH, associate academic director at Mass General Brigham, said: “We're excited to expand our YouTube educational series to include step-by-step first aid and emergency care videos in multiple languages..”
“We are very excited to collaborate with YouTube Health to provide videos featuring techniques approved by the Mexican Red Cross and help people with first aid information when they need medical assistance most. We want to help save lives and prevent poor first aid techniques that can be performed without proper medical knowledge.added Ana Robles Quijano, national fundraising coordinator for the Mexican Red Cross.
Since its launch in 2020, YouTube Health has aimed to make high-quality health content easily accessible around the world. It introduces new features such as health labels to identify licensed medical professionals and crisis resource signs for viewers in times of distress.
