According to the Emergency and Rescue Division of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, in 2003, 4.83 million ambulances were dispatched, a record high.

It goes without saying, "In case of emergency, call an ambulance!", but when the ambulance crews actually arrive at the scene, 48.6% of the cases are urgent, and 51.4% are minor injuries. There is also a story that

 

Especially in Tokyo, the number of dispatches is increasing at a pace of 30,000 every year, and there is a "fear that ambulances will not be available even in the event of an emergency in the future." Ahead of this, we have opened a "Private Emergency Call Center".


The Tokyo Fire Department is asking that if you are injured or have a sudden illness that does not require an ambulance and you can go to the hospital yourself, please go to an emergency medical institution yourself or use a private ambulance.
