As part of the efforts of the Ministry of Community Development to promote the well-being of all community members, Senior Citizens Happiness Centres in Ajman organised an awareness workshop entitled “Rehabilitation of Senior Citizens’ Escorts” targeting 20 senior citizens, their families and caregivers on providing first aid to the elderly and dealing with any sudden health situation until the ambulance arrives or on the journey to the hospital.
The workshop was organised in collaboration with Thumbay Hospital in Ajman.
The Senior Citizens were introduced to practical, direct training exercises on how to act when exposed to any sudden injury while at home alone.
At the end of the workshop, participants toured the physiotherapy department at Thumbay Hospital where they learnt about the devices used and the best treatment development methods.
