Solidarity Bahrain Equips Local Football Clubs with Life-Saving Defibrillators

In a proactive move to enhance athlete safety, Solidarity Bahrain has donated automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to three Bahraini football clubs: Barbar Sports Club, Manama Club, and Isa Town Club. The initiative was spurred by a public awareness campaign launched by a Bahraini nurse following a tragic incident involving a young athlete last year.

Responding to a Critical Need

The donation comes after a Bahraini nurse publicly highlighted the importance of readily available AEDs at sporting facilities. Solidarity Bahrain responded swiftly, contacting club administrations to offer the potentially life-saving devices as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts.

Based on our duty as a leading national company, we believe in the importance of supporting the Bahraini community and participating in a vital role in various development and humanitarian initiatives that meet its needs.
