Real Betis Foundation equips the brotherhoods with defibrillation equipment

The Real Betis Foundation will help to ensure that all the brotherhoods in Seville are equipped with defibrillation equipment.
The Real Betis Foundation will collaborate again this year in the implementation of the initiative ‘Semana Santa Cardioasegurada’ with the transfer of defibrillation equipment. Through this collaboration, the Foundation is once again at the service of the needs of its environment, looking after the health of the city’s residents during such an important event.

The Real Betis Foundation has once again participated in this project belonging to the Centro de Emergencias Sanitarias 061, the Consejo de Hermandades y Cofradías de la ciudad and the Ayuntamiento de Sevilla.

The presentation ceremony was attended by the president of the Real Betis Balompié Foundation, Rafael Gordillo, and Javier Guillén, coordinator of the Club’s Medical Services.

With regard to the ‘Semana Santa Cardioasegurada’ initiative, it should be noted that the routes of all the brotherhoods from Friday of Sorrows to Easter Sunday will be a ‘Cardio-Secured Zone’. The brotherhoods that process through the city from Friday 31st March to Sunday 9th April will be equipped with semi-automatic defibrillators, located inside the processions, so that they are available to the members of the brotherhoods and the thousands of people who gather around them during their route through the streets of the city.

In total, 40 defibrillators have been distributed among the brotherhoods that process through the city, to which are added this year, as a novelty, another 15 fixed defibrillators that will be located in establishments, kiosks and churches located in areas of high traffic of people, being identified on the outside as a Cardio-Safe Zone. The Real Betis Foundation, the Sevilla F.C. Foundation, the SSG Foundation and Almas Industriales have collaborated in this project.

In addition to this, 9 other defibrillators have been installed by the mobile teams of Civil Protection of the Seville City Council, which has also carried out a preliminary tour of areas close to the itineraries of the brotherhoods to detect those establishments or public buildings that have a defibrillator and has made an inventory that includes the location of some 60 spaces that have this equipment and their opening hours with the aim of being able to use them in case of need.
