The ambulance response time in Dubai ranges between 30 minutes and two hours. Ambulance crews are not necessarily accredited, trained and/or equipped to western standards. Crews may consist of only a driver and a passenger who are not necessarily qualified in first responder medicine and/or advanced life-saving techniques. Ambulances are not equipped with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for tracking the whereabouts of emergencies in the Dubai region. Callers need to be able to give neighborhood addresses along with landmarks to help guide first responder vehicles to the scene.
