Please cooperate with the proper use of ambulances
Last Updated November 1, 2024
Ambulances are transported to medical institutions urgently due to injury or illness. However, recently, there are some emergency requests that seem to be a substitute for taxis, such as requests for hospital visits. This can also lead to delays in responding to severely ill people, such as serious injury or myocardial infarction due to an accident. If this is the case, the life that can be saved may not be saved. For those who truly need an ambulance, I would like the cooperation of citizens about the proper use of ambulances. If you feel urgent in view of the situation and symptoms of the accident, please call 119 immediately without hesitation.
To protect your precious life
In order to protect important lives, we ask citizens the following:
- Use an ambulance properly
- Learn first aid
The cooperation of citizens is the driving force for providing high-quality emergency services. We look forward to your continued understanding and cooperation.
