National Ambulance Strengthens Emergency Response Ahead Of Eid Al-Adha Holiday

National Ambulance, operating under the National Guard Command, has announced a heightened state of readiness for the upcoming Eid Al-Adha holiday. This proactive strategy aims to ensure quick responses to emergencies and maintain high standards in ambulance services. The plan involves deploying more ambulance crews, vehicles, and medical equipment strategically, alongside boosting staff numbers in communication centres.

The focus is on areas with large crowds during the holiday, such as mosques for Eid prayers, abattoirs, beaches, parks, malls, and tourist spots. This initiative is part of National Ambulance's ongoing effort to improve rapid response capabilities for emergencies and accidents during public holidays. The plan is executed in collaboration with strategic partners in emergency and public safety sectors.

National Ambulance continues to provide 24/7 emergency medical services across Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Qaiwain, and Fujairah. Supported by skilled teams and a modern fleet with advanced life-saving technology, the organisation ensures quality care aligned with global best practices in pre-hospital emergency care.

The public is urged to follow traffic safety rules and drive carefully during peak holiday hours. Parents should closely watch children during celebrations to prevent accidents like drowning, falls, burns, or injuries from fireworks. The public should not hesitate to call the emergency ambulance hotline 998 if medical assistance is needed.

This step reflects National Ambulance's dedication to enhancing rapid response capabilities for emergencies and potential injuries during public holidays. By focusing on strategic deployment and coordination with partners, they aim to deliver efficient services throughout the holiday period.
