‘Self Sanitization Walk’ is a new device launched by the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services to protect paramedics from any risking infections. Its role to release any infectious germs that could be stuck on their clothes during working with confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Khalifa Aldrai, Dubai Ambulance’s Executive Director, said, “following the directives of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to ensure the safety of the community and the protection of frontline workers in the fight against COVID-19, we developed this innovative equipment, the first to be installed in the country.”
The concept has turned into reality within 24 hours!
The walk-through has been installed at the entrance of the accomodation of Dubai Ambulance field workers. It works by sterilising their clothes and shoes, and provides a new additonal level of protection allowing them to work in a high level of saftey. “By efficiently sterilising their clothes and shoes, the ‘Self Sanitisation Walk’ allows paramedics and other staff to gain an additional level of protection,” continues Khalifa. “The new device, developed in collaboration with SFFECO Global, enables healthworkers to perform their duties with a high level of safety.

The device works automatically once the worker walks through it to spray with a mist that kills any infectious germs caught on clothes, along with a hand sanitiser explained SFFECO Global‘s President and CEO Hadi Al Khatib.
