Spanish municipalities expand cardioprotection with new defibrillators

Municipalities in Spain are enhancing public safety through the installation of automated external defibrillators (AED) and community training.

In Coca de Alba, the local government organized a practical workshop on AED management and basic first aid. Eight residents voluntarily completed the training to prepare for cardiac emergencies. This initiative will be supported by the installation of a new AED in a strategic location within the urban center to ensure immediate response in rural areas.

In El Puerto, the City Council has installed AEDs across 19 municipal locations, including the Town Hall, local police vehicles, libraries, sports pavilions, and the bus station. The equipment was provided through a two-year renting contract with Technology 2050 SL. Security Deputy Mayor Jesús Garay stated that the measure aims to protect both public employees and citizens using municipal facilities.
