Major General Al Raisi also indicated that this humanitarian project aims at providing the best ambulance services and facilitating access to necessary and comprehensive medical care to patients.

For his part, Lieutenant Colonel Al Ameri noted that the new and modern vehicles are ready to provide the best, most-advanced and distinguished ambulance services to the target categories; so as to achieve the police leadership’s vision and the Ministry of Interior’s strategic objectives. This also embodies the UAE government’s future vision in providing distinguished and advanced services to the public in the shortest possible time.
He added: “The diversity of medical cases has prompted the Emergency and Public Safety Department of the Abu Dhabi Police Central Operations Directorate General, to introduce these vehicles, specifically assigned for maternity, childhood and heavyweight people.”
Lieutenant Colonel Al Ameri also explained that the modern ambulance vehicles contain the same equipment used on other vehicles, in addition to technical specifications that take into account cases of patients that require special treatment and care. He pointed out that the vehicles are characterized by the highest levels of safety, security and quality, so as to facilitate the work of paramedics and medical personnel in handling emergency situations.
He added: “The Maternity and Childhood ambulance is specifically equipped to cater to pregnant women, premature infants and newborns. It contains a special bed and a transport infant incubator to tend to mothers and babies. It may be identified thanks to its pink-colored stripes.”
In conclusion, Lieutenant Colonel Al Ameri indicated that the (heavyweight) ambulance with red stripes is fitted with a hydraulic lift and advanced devices to cater to heavyweight persons, whose weight impedes their movement and makes their transfer to hospitals difficult. He advised them to follow proper food diets and physical activities in order to lose weight and lead a normal healthy life.
