13 cases of using automated external defibrillator (AED) devices in the Prophet's Mosque during 2023 were recorded. These devices, installed by the Saudi Red Crescent Authority, aim to enhance safety and provide healthcare for worshippers and visitors. Eighteen AED devices are distributed strategically within the mosque, including 15 at main entrances, two at the northern western courtyard, and one on the upper level.

AED devices are vital components of medical equipment used to save lives in emergencies, particularly during cardiac arrest or decreased heart activity. Their function is to provide a regular electric current to the heart, seeking to restore its natural pulse rhythm.

The medical and emergency services provided by the Saudi Red Crescent Authority within the Prophet's Mosque are part of a comprehensive system aimed at ensuring the safety and comfort of pilgrims. They address any health emergencies and provide necessary care when needed, ensuring a safe and healthy environment.
