Amazing response speed

Dr. Al-Zahrani revealed that the specialized ambulance teams succeeded in reaching the location of the case in a record response time of only one minute and 45 seconds from the time of receiving the report. The teams were immediately directed towards the western courtyards of the Prophet’s Mosque to deal with the critical case with high professionalism and expertise, reflecting the maximum readiness of the Authority’s staff deployed in the central area to serve the guests of God and visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque during this vital time of the holy month, which witnesses a very high human density.

Advanced medical protocols

The ambulance teams began dealing with the patient on the ground according to the latest internationally approved medical protocols by carrying out intensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation and using advanced medical equipment, while requesting an additional support team to ensure the highest levels of efficiency in dealing with the complex medical case. Thanks to God, this resulted in restoring the patient's pulse on site before he was quickly transferred by ambulance to the referral hospital to complete the necessary medical examinations and provide him with specialized health care until his condition was completely stabilized.

Integrated operational plan

The Director General of the Authority affirmed that the success of this ambulance operation is due, after God’s grace, to the precise implementation of the integrated operational plans under which the ambulance and volunteer teams work around the clock inside and around the Prophet’s Mosque during the blessed month of Ramadan. These plans aim to enhance the speed of response and raise the quality of emergency medical services provided to visitors and worshippers, ensuring their safety and health and providing a safe environment that allows them to perform their worship with ease and tranquility, under the unlimited support that the Authority enjoys.
