Civil Defense Committee Inspects the College of Medicine in Babylon
The Technical Committee for Civil Defense and Occupational Safety, headed by Dr. Samer Hussam Al-Shalah, Director of the Follow-up Department, along with the Director of the Administrative Affairs Department and the Head of the Civil Defense Unit, conducted an inspection of the fire extinguishing system at the College of Medicine.
They were received by the Dean of the College, Professor Dr. Muhannad Abbas Al-Shalah, who stated that the College of Medicine at the University of Babylon is distinguished for being the first to install a fire extinguishing system of this specification at the university. The system covers all college buildings and corridors, with high-pressure water hoses capable of extinguishing fires—God forbid—in record time. The system was tested by the College’s Civil Defense Officer to prevent any future issues.
The committee then inspected all college buildings, examined fire extinguishers and suppression systems, tested the hose reels, and reviewed the progress of the alarm system currently under installation, which adheres to international standards. The committee confirmed that the College of Medicine in Babylon complies with occupational safety regulations and maintains active civil defense shifts.
