how UAE citizens might benefit from the ambulance services offered there. Details are as follows:
Step 1: Know how to reach out for help
Call 998 to reach the ambulance if you have a medical emergency. You can utilise the new DCAS application as well.
Therefore, residents of the UAE can call an ambulance from anywhere simply dialling 998. If you live in Dubai, you can also get the “DCOS Smart SOS” app from the Google Play Store and the “DCAS SOS & Smart Services” app from the Apple App Store.
Step 2: Provide detailed location
The app will automatically determine your location if you are using it. When installing the app for the first time on your phone, you only need to allow location settings.
You must provide the police officer more information about your location when you call for assistance than just the name of a structure.
The information you should give the ambulatory service representative when you call to request assistance:
– Name of the area
– Street name
– A landmark nearby
– Building name
– Details of where in the building you are. For example, floor number or room number.
Step 3: Provide details of the type of incident
Additionally, you must let the police know what kind of medical emergency you are experiencing. If there was a fire, a fall, or a medical issue, such as a cardiac arrest, tell the officer about it.
Step 4: Inform the officer of the number of people involved
It’s crucial to inform the ambulance services how many people need medical attention.
Step 5: Describe the extent of injury
They must understand the extent of the patient’s injuries, whether or not the patient is aware, as we have a set response time for such situations.
Additionally, they have different ambulances, so stating the incident’s category and the number of participants will help us decide which ambulance to send.
