Dubai has increased its ambulance readiness across the emirate as students return to school for the 2026-27 academic year, activating 150 ambulance points and enhancing coverage near schools during peak traffic times. The Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services implemented this preparedness plan to safeguard pupils, teachers, and road users during the morning rush and dismissal periods when traffic around schools typically surges.
Executive Director Mishal Abdul Karim Julfar explained that the heightened readiness is necessary due to shifting traffic patterns and increased congestion near schools at specific times. The activation involves 150 ambulance points, each staffed by expert medical personnel and equipped with advanced technology to handle various emergency situations.
This additional deployment is part of a larger initiative aimed at ensuring rapid access to emergency care during one of Dubai's busiest periods, as hundreds of thousands of students, parents, school buses, and staff resume their daily routines.
