[/P]The procedures of the Ministry of Health and the Greek Humanitarian Civil Society Organization KIDS SAVE LIVES - Children Save Lives are in their final stages, for the launch of the iSAVElives application in January 2023. Specifically, the technical teams of KIDS SAVE LIVES, the Resuscitation Services of the Ministry of Health, the Cardiology Clinic of the Nicosia Hospital (OKYPY) and the Ambulance Service (OKYPY) are working tirelessly to resolve technical and other issues in order to ensure the timely launch of the programme in Cyprus.
Through the Memorandum of Cooperation signed on 11 November 2022, between the Minister of Health Mr. Michael Hadjipandela and the President of the Greek Humanitarian Civil Society Organization KIDS SAVE LIVES - Children Save Lives Mr. Anastasios Stefanakis, a common front of solidarity is created for the immediate shielding, safety, protection and rescue of every human life at risk from heart attack, drowning or any other cause.
For the effective implementation of the iSAVElives application in Cyprus, in order to reduce the response time to life-threatening incidents, with the assistance of certified Community First Responders, the assistance and awareness of ALL citizens is required.
Therefore, the Department of Health is calling on businesses, organizations and citizens who have an Automated External Defibrillator to:
[*]register their AED(s) on the online National Defibrillator Map hosted on the KIDS SAVE LIVES website: https:/kidssavelives.gr/add-new-aed/ and [*]updating and updating data on AEDs/AEDs held in the archive of the Ministry of Health, by completing the attached form.
Instructions for businesses, organizations and individuals who have an Automated External Defibrillator:
Before proceeding to register the AED(s), check that it is FUNCTIONAL (active battery/electrodes) and that the necessary auxiliary supplies (towel, scissors, razor blade, protective face mask for rescue infusions, and personal protective equipment such as masks and 3-5 pairs of gloves) are included in the package. Once you have replaced or secured all of the above, proceed to registration. Once you have completed the registration, you may be contacted by the technical team of the National Defibrillator Map application.
