DPD is a sponsor of placing AED devices in public places. AED stands for Automatic External Defibrillator and is a portable device that is used to restore heart rhythm during cardiac arrest. The realization of this project is an initiative of vsw HeartSaver, under the sponsorship of cardiologist and heart rhythm specialist Prof. Dr. Pedro Brugada.
In 2018, DPD sponsored the Busleyden Atheneum - Campus Botaniek school project in Mechelen. This year an AED device will be installed at the Busleyden Atheneum - Campus Stassart in Mechelen. The device is placed outside of the school so that it is available for anyone in need.
