Today, Dr. Jalal bin Mohammed Al Owaisi, the President of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority, inaugurated the administrative building of the authority in the city of Al Khobar, along with the first simulation center in the training department at the Eastern Region branch. The purpose of this center is to enhance the skills of emergency service providers. The event was attended by Dr. Khalid Al-Anzi, the director of the branch, and several staff members.

During his visit, Al Owaisi toured the training center and inspected the simulation rooms dedicated to various emergency scenarios. These scenarios included pediatric emergencies, the "Governor's Excellence" program, medical conditions, and injuries. He received a detailed explanation about the building, its departments, and the major achievements in the region during 2023.

Dr. Al Owaisi commended the initiative that enabled the Saudi Red Crescent Authority to attract experienced and professionally qualified trainers from within the organization. This initiative aims to increase the annual training capacity for course applicants and reduce training costs while building the capabilities and skills of emergency service providers in accordance with international standards to improve quality. He noted that this initiative aims to raise public awareness among citizens and residents about first aid, reducing the demand for emergency services for non-urgent cases.
