New Life Saving Equipment in East Reading
The chair of the South Central Ambulance Trust, Prof Sir Keith Willett, was welcomed to mark the installation of a defibrillator at the Pakistani Community Centre in east Reading.
Sir Keith said “Only one person in ten survives a cardiac arrest outside of hospital, so the provision of locally available defibrillators in the community can provide a vital life-saving asset. The example of the PCC working with SCAS Governor Tony Jones in procuring the AED (automated external defibrillator) to is to be commended and I hope others will follow this example.”
Another very successful and busy Nadra surgery held at Pakistan community centre – Reading yesterday.
133 applications processed in total.
Apologies to those people on the stand by list who where not able to be seen.
Hopefully in July you will be invited again.
Special thanks to H.E high commissioner of Pakistan Dr. Mohammed Faisal and Nadra acting manager Yaamin and all his team, and special thanks to PCC team and supporters for helping on the day.
