The authorities recommend that defibrillators should be installed in public places with high activity, as well as in workplaces and schools. Companies have a requirement for HSE courses.
However, we believe that defibrillators should be more widespread, not just in places with high traffic. People and businesses belonging to the countryside can experience an emergency just like in a public place, but for them an ambulance will take much longer to arrive. The ambulance can take anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour, depending on where you are. When it comes to cardiac arrest, every minute counts. With no defibrillator or ambulance, the chance of the person surviving is small. That's why we fight to make defibrillators more accessible everywhere.
