Dubai
During an invitational tour to Dubai in 2010, the SEI team recognised that many locals drown in Dubai - due to Arab laws only allowing local qualified lifeguards or medics to perform any lifesaving procedures (rescues, CPR) which mean that due to a lack of trained lifeguards, most patients will either drown or go untreated and die.
