Dubai: If you are a medical professional who is on call and needs to respond quickly to a medical emergency, the UAE’s authorities have implemented a fast-response service, which empowers doctors to use their private vehicles to respond to extreme emergencies.
‘Bin Wraiqa’ is a service provided to a specific category of on-call doctors and aims to facilitate doctors’ access to hospitals by avoiding traffic congestion. By using their private cars, trained and registered medical professionals can respond to medical emergencies as quickly as possible, while ensuring their safety and the safety of road users to avoid any delays due to traffic congestion. The service was rolled out by the Ministry of Interior in 2020.
