Hasselt (The Brussels morning Newspaper): During the European Championship in Limburg from September 11-15, the White-Yellow Cross will utilize electric bikes for healthcare staff to enhance patient care in crowded areas, promoting sustainable travel.
The European Championship is set to take place in Limburg from 11th September next Wednesday to16th September Monday, making the area a busy center for cycling with participants and fans from all over Europe. The White-Yellow Cross, a well-known home care organization, has been using electric bikes in Hasselt to promote sustainable travel. During the championship, they plan to take full advantage of these eco-friendly bikes to enhance their operations.
How Hasselt’s White-Yellow Cross Embraces E-Bikes for European Championship?
The organization plans to use electric bikes to move around the busy city center during the championship. This will help care workers reach patients quickly, even in crowded places where cars might get stuck. Using electric bikes also helps the White-Yellow Cross be more eco-friendly. This fits with Hasselt and Limburg’s goal to encourage cycling, especially during big events like the European Championship.
Ralph Gregoor from the Wit-Gele Kruis said they will have more bicycles for nurses and healthcare workers starting next week. This plan is to help healthcare staff reach patients more easily, especially when other transport options are not practical. By providing more bicycles, the organization wants to offer a green and efficient way to travel, especially in busy areas, so nurses can continue to give care quickly without the delays that come with cars or public transport. This plan is part of a bigger effort to help healthcare workers get around easier, save time, and be better for the environment by using bikes. It has been said that having more bicycles shows that Wit-Gele Kruis cares about its staff’s health because biking is a healthier way to travel. It also helps nurses reach places that are hard to get to by car, so they can help patients quickly.
They have made plans with patients in Hasselt to maybe delay some visits. Ralph Gregoor said, “We worked with local officials to see how the European Championship will affect our work.” They also talked with patients and caregivers about which care could be done later. “Some people said they didn’t need care that day,” Gregoor said.
