Approximately 10,000 Belgians die annually from sudden cardiac arrest. An AED device can be crucial at the moment of cardiac failure. Therefore, the local government invested in 3 new AED devices and moved all existing devices to outdoor locations.
Dentergem now has nine AED devices installed at outdoor locations accessible to the general public. Users receive clear instructions via voice and a screen.
Hopefully, they will never need to be activated, but do not hesitate to use them if you deem it necessary.
The AED devices can be found at the following locations: Gemeentehuis (Kerkstraat 1), Voetbalterrein KZ Dentergem (Meulebekesteenweg 16/z), JOC (Wontergemstraat 7), Veldschool (Tieltseweg 66), Sporthal Markegem (Brouwerijstraat 21), Leieheem (Rosalie 't Feltplein), Sociaal Huis (Kasteeldreef 1), Hondiuspark (Oostdreef 48), and Bezoekerscentrum Baliekouter (Ommegangstraat 11).
