The city has the largest municipal network of defibrillators in the entire region, with over a hundred units spread across facilities in the urban center, neighborhoods, and districts. The city council also provides an interactive map showing the exact location of each device, accessible at www.loca.es/desfibriladores. This tool allows users to easily find the nearest defibrillator from any location or device, enabling a quick response in case of an emergency.
Mayor Belén Pérez stated, «I understood the importance of installing these devices in Sutlana COSO, a multipurpose space for large events such as concerts, cultural events, sports, exhibitions, and more.» This initiative is part of ongoing efforts by the Lorca Local Council to enhance the safety and well-being of residents, workers, and visitors.
On March 28, 2025, Mayor Belén Pérez announced the installation of two semiautomatic defibrillators in Sutulna Cano, which has an outdoor capacity of 6,000 seats. With this addition, Lorca solidifies its position as a heart-safe municipality, boasting the largest municipal defibrillation network in the Murcia region, with 105 health distribution points.
These devices are equipped with pediatric pads for children aged 1 to 8 years, reflecting the versatile nature of Suturena COSO as a space for a wide range of events catering to all ages. The installation of the defibrillators is being carried out by the health and safety service in collaboration with the personnel department and internal regulations.
The strategic placement of these devices within the COSO ensures easy access for the public, especially at key locations within the facility. The defibrillators will be prominently displayed to provide comprehensive coverage of this large event space.
It is worth noting that the location of these defibrillators has been integrated into the interactive map for easy reference.
The implementation of this initiative aims to safeguard the health and safety of individuals, ensuring a rapid and effective response to medical emergencies, particularly cases of sudden cardiac arrest. Early use of a defibrillator can significantly increase the chances of survival for someone experiencing a cardiac arrest, underscoring the importance of these devices for residents and visitors alike.
