Revolution for heart security: 26 defibrillators in Cottbus!
in Cottbus is more important: the city has signed a cooperation agreement together with the Björn-Steiger Foundation that gives the starting signal for the "Heart Safety" campaign. This initiative provides to install a total of 26 automated external defibrillators (AED) in the city. This is intended to significantly increase the chances of survival for cardiovascular homes, because around 65,000 people are affected in Germany every year. Many survivors owe it to the timely use of first aiders and technical aids before the emergency services arrive.
So far, eight AED locations have already been active in Cottbus. These are located in gyms of several primary schools, in the Kahren community center, in the socio -cultural center in Sachsendorf and in the town hall. The tie will soon follow: eight other locations have already installed the necessary outer boxes. The defibrillators are to be installed there promptly, mainly at sports facilities and in the branches of savings banks.expansion of the locations
The project is not only promoted in the central areas. Installation orders are currently underway for six other places, such as the “Zur Spreeperle” inn in Kiekebusch and various community and club centers. In a later phase it is also planned to equip the IKMZ of the BTU Cottbus and the information center at the main train station with AEDs. The initiative is distributed over a total of 15 lighthouses and seven information points within the city where the defibrillators are accessible. Two Sparkassen locations and two assistants (HLF) of the professional fire brigade are also equipped with AEDs, which further improves the nationwide supply.
A declared goal of the Björn Steiger Foundation is to sensitize the population through regular training courses in amateurreanicism and to raise awareness of heart security. "Heart -Safe" is a Germany -wide project that aims to make regions too "heartproof" and to increase the chances of survival in cardiac arrests. An AED device is provided per 1,000 inhabitants in order to be able to act quickly in an emergency.
The "Heart Safe" campaign positions itself as a lighthouse concept for strengthening disaster protection in Cottbus. As reports niederlausitz-aktuell.de, the installation of the defibrillators is not only a technical, but also a social concern aims at quick help in critical situations. The initiative could not only save lives, but also strengthen the cooperation in the city.
With this innovative project, Cottbus shows that it has a good hand when it comes to combining modern technology and social responsibility. The city goes the right way to ensure the security of its citizens.| Details | |
