An initiative to train 23,000 volunteers in CPR & 10,000 AED Defibrillators installed in Dubai
Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with American Heart Association (AHA) to launch a CPR training programme to make Dubai one of the safest in the world in terms of response time to cardiac arrests. As part of the initiative 23,000 volunteers were trained in CPR and 10,000 heart defibrillators have been installed all across public places in Dubai.
One in five people within United Arab Emirates (UAE) currently die of heart decease. Every minute, following a heart attack, is crucial and medical help needs to reach the patient ideally within four minutes. This project aims to increase the survival rate in case of sudden cardiac arrests in Dubai and aims to break the global benchmark and achieve a 65 per cent survival rate.
