BOV makes heart safety a reality

Source:  Times of Malta Date: Thursday, January 24, 2013

Bank of Valletta has become the first bank to purchase a number of portable defibrillators to protect the lives of both its employees and customers.

The Bank has equipped its Head Office and a couple of branches with the latest Automated External Defibrillators (AED) which are built specifically for lay people to use.  Fewer than 5% of people survive a heart attack with Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) alone but these odds are improved tenfold to 50% with the prompt use of an AED and effective CPR.

Various staff members attended in-house comprehensive First Aid courses on how to deliver lifesaving first aid such as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions, as well as on the use of the AEDs.

"It's shockingly simple to restart a heart with an Automated External Defibrillator,” said Alexander Paul Miruzzi, Group Security Officer. “Access to a defibrillator can dramatically increase the odds of survival," he added.

The following is an article from Timesofmalta.com about the first part of the consignment.

Four new ambulances arrive

Four of 11 new ambulances have arrived in Malta and will start operating in the beginning of January.

Another four ambulances are to arrive in February and the remaining three will be in Malta by January 2014, Health Minister Joseph Cassar said.

Standing in front of the four new yellow and green Fiat ambulances, Dr Cassar said that they were built to cater for intensive care level. This meant that intensive care treatment could be given to a patient on the way to hospital.

He said the ambulances arrived after a €2.5 million tender was awarded. The 11 new ambulances will be joining the existing seven ambulances that are between five and nine years old.

Jonathan Joslin, a consultant at the Emergency Department, said that until December 18 this year there had been 25,398 ambulance calls and the department predicted that this year’s calls will exceed last year’s by some 1,500.

Ambulances had been called for 929 traffic accidents, 2,700 cardiac complications, 3,300 respiratory complications and over 700 strokes.
