The National Ambulance has stepped up its efforts to ensure the safety and wellness of all members of the community during the Holy Month of Ramadan. The National Ambulance continues to carry out awareness measures as part of its "Safe and Healthy Ramadan" campaign launched at the beginning of Ramadan.

Under the campaign, the National Ambulance is working to promote social awareness about COVID-19 precautions among all community members. In addition, the campaign focuses on strengthening the commitment to COVID-19 countermeasures, enhancing knowledge about driver safety, and boosting awareness about recommended healthy practices for fasting in a healthy way during Ramadan.

Ahmed Saleh Al Hajeri, Chief Executive Officer of National Ambulance, stressed the National Ambulance continues to ensure the highest level of preparedness to ensure everyone's safety during the Holy Month.

"As we approach the last ten days of Ramadan, the National Ambulance continues to maintain the highest possible level of readiness as part of the proactive measures we have taken to ensure an effective and rapid response to potential emergency situations that may arise during the holy month and Eid," he said.

He further urged people to continue strict compliance with the preventive measures implemented by relevant authorities in the country. He called on the public to support the ongoing national efforts to ensure public health and safety during and after Ramadan in line with the endeavors towards full recovery in the post-pandemic phase.
