Jeddah: Through its Medical Supply and Equipment Unit, the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) has supplied ambulances participating in this year’s Hajj with medical consumables boxes. Each ambulance is equipped with three different categories of medical supplies.
The Medical Supply Unit has provided over 10,000 boxes containing 10 million pieces of medical consumables and a reserve balance of approximately 5 million medical pieces at supply points. This ensures continuous and uninterrupted field support.
The three-category consumables box system can cater to emergency medical services for 20-30 standard emergency cases and 15-20 acute and critical cases. Additionally, each ambulance is equipped with basic materials such as shock devices, an oxygen cylinder, a vital signs reading device, suction devices, liquids, planks, cervical splints, and limb immobilization devices.
