Abu Dhabi Police Installs Defibrillator at Dalma Mall
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, February 27th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

The Emergency and Public Safety Department at Abu Dhabi Police has set up a defibrillator at the Dalma Mall in Mussafah. The move comes in response to the instructions given by H.H. Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, to install defibrillators in public places across the UAE.

A special team from the Emergency and Public Safety Department at Abu Dhabi Police has taken the responsibility of training the staff members on how to operate the device in order to be able to offer this service to the mall’s customers.

The Emergency and Public Safety Department has already installed defibrillators at Marina Mall, Al Khalidiyah Mall, Al Wahda Mall, the Abu Dhabi Mall and Al Mushrif Mall in Abu Dhabi. The resuscitation device has also been installed at the Bawabat Al Sharq Mall in Bani Yas City and the Al Ain Zoo, as well as the Al Bawadi and Al Jimi Malls in Al Ain. They were also set up in five locations in Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah, and Fujairah.

It is worth noting that the defibrillator is used when there are symptoms of circulatory failure (ischemia) in a person with suspected heart failure. The symptoms include fainting, irregular breathing, weak or absent pulse, or absence of circulatory activity.
