DUBAI – The Corporation for Ambulance Services (DCAS) in Dubai is imposing a self-funding programme to cover basic operational costs starting from Dh600 and going up to Dh1,200 for emergencies.
An amount of Dh6,770 will be the stipulated compensation for traffic incidents resulting in bodily injury or death, the KhaleejTimes reported.
The move comes after a law was approved by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council.
As per the details of the decree, the basic fee is Dh600 for treatment at the site of the injury without transferring the person. With a transfer to the nearest hospital it will cost Dh800.
First and second level ambulatory services will cost between Dh1,000 to Dh1,200.
The ambulatory services are to be covered by the insurance company of the recipient.
