It is small and easy to maneuver among crowds, in addition to its flexibility on narrow paths, enabling ambulance teams to reach critical cases quickly and safely without obstructing the movement of pilgrims performing circumambulation or worshippers.   <br\/>It noted that introducing the electric chair aims to accelerate field transport, especially during peak times, and reduce the physical effort required of paramedics, thereby improving performance quality and the speed of delivering emergency services on-site. It confirmed that field personnel working inside the Grand Mosque had undergone specialized training programs before the service was launched, ensuring the safe and effective use of the electric chair in accordance with approved medical protocols.     <br\/>This activation is an extension of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority\u2019s commitment to employing modern operational solutions to enhance
