Today, CAN is present in 7 departments with about 700 employees across the country and 72 ambulances in total (with their medical staff) has grown from a single service to a autonomous Directorate General.

Centre staff (53% women) demonstrated unparalleled dedication. Tireless, employees take turns working 24/7 to serve the Haitian people and save as many lives as possible.

In addition, the CAN has a call center and emergency medical regulation, a training service for its staff, a statistical service and Informatics, support staff, management and administrative staff.

CAN encourages people to dial 116 for free only in case of emergency, from any network to benefit from its services.
