Egypt launches national initiative to combat sudden cardiac death
Egypt has launched a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about sudden cardiac death and improve the country's emergency healthcare response through widespread training in the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). The campaign, unveiled on Sunday, reflects a coordinated effort by the Ministries of Health and Youth and Sports to prevent cardiac-related fatalities and build community-based resilience. The announcement was made during an official ceremony held at the Olympic Center in Maadi, Cairo, attended by Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Youth and Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhy, senior healthcare officials, and leading cardiologists. 'This initiative represents a critical step forward in preventing sudden cardiac arrests within the community,' said Abdel Ghaffar, noting that an estimated 55,000 people in Egypt die each year from sudden cardiac arrest, with around 20% of these cases caused by ventricular fibrillation. He emphasized that timely intervention with an AED can raise survival rates to over 90%. The initiative includes training personnel across government institutions and youth centers, equipping them with the skills needed to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies. Abdel Ghaffar also announced the development of a mobile application to provide users with step-by-step guidance on using AEDs, performing CPR, and responding to emergencies. Youth and Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhy underscored the importance of integrating AEDs and trained responders into sports venues across the country. 'We must ensure that all sports clubs and federations implement regular emergency response training programmes, especially during athletic competitions,' he said. As part of the broader strategy, the initiative also includes mandatory routine and specialized medical screenings for athletes to detect potential heart conditions before they escalate. Mohamed Sobhy, president of the Scientific Foundation for Cardiology and Arteries, praised the initiative for reflecting 'a comprehensive scientific approach to reducing mortality from cardiac arrest.' He noted that the programme is in line with international best practices and includes a strong emphasis on training and deploying AEDs in public areas. Hazem Khamis, head of the medical committee at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, highlighted the critical importance of AED accessibility, stating that 'having defibrillators available in public spaces during the first few minutes of cardiac arrest can be the difference between life and death.' The initiative has received strong support from both public and private sectors, including the Egyptian Red Crescent, the Scientific Foundation for Cardiology, sports clubs such as Wadi Degla, and multiple athletic federations. Together, these partners aim to foster a culture of preparedness and ultimately reduce preventable deaths from sudden cardiac events.

Automated External Defibrillators Market Size to Reach USD 2.20 Billion by 2030, Driven by Rising Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases Increases the Demand
US & Canada, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to a new comprehensive report from The Insight Partners, the global automated external defibrillators market is growing significantly with the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. The global Automated External Defibrillator (AED) market growth is driven by increasing awareness of sudden cardiac arrest, government mandates for AED installations in public spaces, and technological advancements enhancing device usability. Key players include Koninklijke Philips N.V., Stryker Corporation, ZOLL Medical Corporation, Nihon Kohden Corporation, and Mediana Co. Ltd., focusing on innovation and strategic partnerships to expand their global presence. To explore the valuable insights in the Automated External Defibrillators Market report, you can easily download a sample PDF of the report – Overview of Report Findings 1. Market Growth: The automated external defibrillators market is expected to reach a value of US$ 2.20 billion by 2030 from US$ 1.55 billion in 2023 at a CAGR of 4.5%. Growth in the automated external defibrillators market is mainly driven by the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which are responsible for more than one-third of all deaths across the world. Immediate defibrillation within a few minutes of cardiac arrest saves thousands of lives, leading to the growth in adoption of AEDs in public places as well as private spaces. Government campaigns and public access defibrillation (PAD) schemes have also picked up the pace of AED installation, assisted by legislation enforcing their presence at crowded locations. 2. Rising Cardiovascular Disease Incidence: The worldwide upsurge of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is the key driver fueling the rise of the automated external defibrillators (AED) market. CVDs such as heart attacks, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are the prime cause of fatality worldwide. As per estimates by the World Heart Federation, over half billion people around the world continue to be affected by cardiovascular diseases, which accounted for 20.5 million deaths in 2021. This expanding health burden has increased the necessity for timely, accessible, and effective emergency treatment such as AEDs. Sudden cardiac arrest, a life-threatening expression of CVD, may strike at any moment and needs to be treated immediately by defibrillation to re-establish normal heart rhythm. AEDs are created to be easy, portable, and accessible to non-medical staff, hence an essential instrument for first-responder treatment. With decreasing survival rates by about 10% per minute without defibrillation, the presence of AEDs can greatly enhance patient outcomes. With increasing CVD cases, the risk of SCA occurrences in public places, workplaces, and homes also increases. 3. Government Support and Public Access Programs: Many governments and health agencies are actively promoting the installation and use of AEDs through public access defibrillation (PAD) programs. These programs provide for greater accessibility of AEDs in areas of high public traffic and the education of laypersons in basic life support and device operation. Regulatory agencies also require AED installations in specific facilities, and in some jurisdictions, provide financial incentives or subsidies to promote compliance. In addition, legislative improvements to Good Samaritan laws are diminishing liability issues, encouraging people to act during emergencies. Combined, these drivers are not only growing the AED market but also making a more responsive and health-aware community, one where early action can significantly enhance cardiac arrest survival. 4. Geographical Insights: In 2023, North America led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and APAC, respectively. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR in the automated external defibrillators market during the forecast period.
