About use as a private ambulance
The reason why the private ambulance was born
Why was the private ambulance born?
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.
