PCCs play a vital role in public health by reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with poisonings. They help to:
Provide timely and accurate medical advice, reducing the need for unnecessary emergency room visits. Prevent complications by ensuring that individuals receive appropriate care quickly. Collect data on poisoning incidents, which can be used for epidemiological studies and to identify trends in toxic exposures. Educate the public on the safe use and storage of hazardous substances.
