- Four women in pink remain on standby 12 hours a day, seven days a week, to
come to the aid of their "sisters" in the Gulf emirate of Dubai.
The four --
two medics and two drivers -- are leading a pilot project for a women-only pink
ambulance service that aims to expedite medical care by helping patients feel
more at ease.
"In our
society, Arab Muslim society, when patients call for help, they want privacy
and they want to feel comfortable," said Bashayer al-Rimm, an emergency
medical technician (EMT).
"A
male first responder can and of course does respond to all patients," she
told AFP.
"But
the logic behind this was, 'How can we make women feel more comfortable?', to
speed up giving them medical care."
The
government-run Women Responders unit operating in the district of Deira has had
25 callouts since it launched three weeks ago, none of them major emergencies.
Staff
specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology and pediatrics, and they refer to each
other -- and their patients -- "sisters".
Ten years
ago, Dubai launched "Ladies and Families Taxis," a pink fleet of cabs
driven by women and serving women and their children.

The service
is still available, and popular, across Dubai, a member of the United Arab
Emirates.
Maria
Lagbes, a longtime medic who was tapped to join the Women Responders team, said
the ambulance service has already helped improve patient care.
"Female
patients, especially in this country, are more hesitant when there are male
medics around," said Lagbes, who is originally from the Philippines.
"I can
tell the difference, having worked before with a male partner and now with a
female partner," she said. "I think an all-female team can provide
more efficient medical service here."
For now,
the pilot project targets Deira, a bustling, old district of a city state known
globally for its modern opulence.
The next
step is to expand to Bur Dubai, another of Dubai's older quarters that lies
across the Dubai Creek, a water canal historically used by fishermen and pearl
divers.
"We've
had so much positive feedback," said Rimm. "People have been saying
this is really helpful".
But despite
temperatures soaring above 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), the next batch
of EMTs is trained and eager to join the pink fleet.
"We're
all used to it. Not just as first responders -- as Emiratis," Rimm
chuckled. "Keep hydrated."

“… With free choice, the percentage of DNA efficiently started to go down as humanity grew. As soon as the DNA started to lose percentage, the gender balance was dysfunctional. If you want to have a test of any society, anywhere on the planet, and you want to know the DNA percentage number [consciousness quota] as a society, there's an easy test: How do they perceive and treat their women? The higher the DNA functionality, the more the feminine divine is honored. This is the test! Different cultures create different DNA consciousness, even at the same time on the planet. So you can have a culture on Earth at 25 percent and one at 37 - and if you did, they would indeed clash. …”
