Installation of Automatic External Defibrillators
Gironella City Council has implemented two new automatic external defibrillators (AED) in the municipality, located in Cal Blau and Cal Ramons, with the aim of becoming a cardioprotected municipality. This certification is granted to localities that establish specific planning and have the appropriate resources to carry out integrated interventions in cases of cardiac arrest.
Cardioprotection coverage
The Councilor for Health, Aina Alarcon, has reported that the only neighborhood that does not yet have an AED is Font dels Torracs, but the city council intends to install one during this mandate. In addition to the neighborhoods mentioned, Gironella already has 11 devices installed in other locations such as the Town Hall, the Library, the municipal football field, among others.
Satisfaction with Cardioprotection Coverage
The councilor is satisfied with the cardioprotection coverage in Gironella, highlighting the importance of rapid intervention in cases of cardiorespiratory arrest and the positive impact these equipment can have in saving lives.
Access to Information on AEDs
Citizens can check the exact location of AEDs through the Gironella application, available for iOS and Android. In addition to information about defibrillators, the app also provides other details of interest such as on-call pharmacies and other health services.
