The Saudi Red Crescent Authority is set to establish a dedicated fund aimed at supporting and advancing emergency services, as part of broader efforts to enhance rapid response capabilities and strengthen the sustainability of humanitarian services across the Kingdom.
The initiative is designed to diversify funding sources and enable strategic investment in the development of emergency service infrastructure. This includes upgrading medical equipment, expanding training and qualification programs for paramedics, and improving operational systems and technologies used in emergency response.
The fund is expected to significantly enhance the authority’s ability to respond efficiently to a wide range of emergencies, including medical incidents, accidents, and large-scale crises. By providing flexible financial resources, the fund will support faster decision-making and more effective deployment of emergency services.
In addition, the initiative aims to back preventive programs and development projects, strengthen partnerships with public and private sector entities, and empower volunteers by expanding their role in emergency and ambulance services. This approach contributes to reinforcing a culture of humanitarian and volunteer work within society.
The establishment of the fund reflects the Saudi Red Crescent Authority’s commitment to advancing emergency response systems in line with international best practices, safeguarding lives, and supporting quality of life objectives, in harmony with national efforts to enhance healthcare and humanitarian services throughout the Kingdom.
