MAKKAH: The Civil Defense has established 15 first aid points inside the Grand Mosque complex to provide emergency health help to the guests of God, Director of Civil Defense in Makkah Brig. Jameel Arbaeen announced Wednesday.
He said the rescue stations, scattered in various parts of the Haram, will be manned by 300 paramedics, officers and privates and will operate around the clock during the entire Haj season.
Arbaeen said the medical evacuation and ambulance teams would make strenuous efforts to provide sick pilgrims with urgent medical help and would immediately rush the serious cases to the nearest hospital.
He said the paramedics had been supplied with first-aid kits and wheelchairs to provide urgent medical assistance to the pilgrims.
Arbaeen said the mobile ambulance points were set up in vital places in the Haram and also around the Tawaf area, which witnesses overcrowding of pilgrims, to provide them with quick medical help.
He said the Civil Defense would also send mobile messages in three languages to inform pilgrims to delay going to the Grand Mosque when it is full and to wait until the number of worshippers goes down. "This will be done in cooperation with the General Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques Affairs and the Haram security forces," he explained.
"The Civil Defense personnel will deploy the maximum potential to carry out their duties inside and around the Grand Mosque to preserve the safety of pilgrims and to provide them with rapid ambulance service whenever required," Arbaeen said.
