National Ambulance boosts readiness ahead of holidays

National Ambulance, under the National Guard Command, has announced heightened preparedness as part of its proactive strategy for the upcoming Eid Al Adha holiday.

The measures aim to ensure swift response to emergency calls and the delivery of ambulance services in line with the highest standards of quality and operational efficiency.

The plan includes strengthening field coverage through an increased strategic deployment of ambulance crews, vehicles, and medical equipment, as well as increasing staffing in ambulance communication centres to further enhance readiness.

Key focus areas include high-density public areas that typically experience large crowds during the holiday, such as mosques where Eid prayers are held, abattoirs, beaches, public parks, shopping malls, and tourist hotspots.

This step is part of National Ambulance’s continued commitment to strengthening rapid response capabilities for emergencies, traffic accidents, and potential injuries during public holidays.

The plan is implemented in close coordination with strategic partners across the emergency and public safety sectors.

National Ambulance also urged the public to adhere to traffic safety regulations and drive cautiously, particularly during peak holiday hours.
