The event took place on May 23, 2024, in Madinah, SPA. The Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) in Madinah has released its operating plan for the 1445H Hajj season. The authorized laws will guide this plan, which will encompass the entire region.According to the SRCA Madinah branch's Director General, Dr. Ahmed bin Ali Al-Zahrani, the plan is to provide emergency medical and ambulance services to individuals visiting the Prophet's Mosque as well as those traveling into Madinah. We will continue doing this until Muharram 15th, 1446H.There are 45 regional ambulance centers putting the strategy into action. The most modern vehicles in the region support the 71 fully equipped and sophisticated ambulance teams at these centers.
Additionally, these facilities are totally prepared to provide flight ambulance services. Over 690 people, representing a wide range of classes and roles, will be involved in the process of putting the plan into action.This year, we will increase the operational force at the Prophet's Mosque and its surrounding courtyards in proportion to the number of worshippers, as per the requirements. In addition, around five hundred male and female volunteers will be working in the Prophet's Mosque. They will provide ambulance coverage in all of the mosque's portions and courtyards around the clock. These volunteers will have completed the required training courses prior to the start of the Hajj season.The idea also includes a command and control center that will be located in the region and will be responsible for providing ambulance and medical guidance services.
Calling 997 or using the ASEFNE app, which is available in nine different languages, are also viable options for submitting reports. The electronic paramedic application then sends the report to the ambulance teams closest to the incident's current location. They promptly address, evaluate, and treat the situation, while also informing the nearest hospital about it. It is possible for the health institution to obtain the entire ambulance report in electronic format. We use the electronic field commander application to monitor all aspects of the report and distribute orders to all field personnel as quickly as possible.
