MADINAH: The Saudi Red Crescent Authority has continued to carry out emergency medical duties within the Prophet’s Mosque and the surrounding central area as part of an integrated health ecosystem that aims to enhance emergency response efficiency and provide advanced ambulance services to pilgrims and visitors.
The authority is playing a key role through ambulance teams that respond on-site to emergency cases and provide primary care at the Prophet’s Mosque.
This is done in coordination with participating health entities, reflecting a high level of integration across sectors.
The authority operates within a joint system that includes 17 health entities from the government, private, and non-profit sectors.
It also coordinates continuously with hospitals and health centers in the central area to enhance service readiness, accelerate case transfers, and ensure timely care.
Ambulance teams are deployed across the Prophet’s Mosque, its courtyards, and surrounding areas through foot patrols, positioning points, and ambulance centers.
They are supported by modern, lightweight equipment that enables rapid response in crowded areas.
