Haiti - Health : New public network of ambulance to respond to emergencies
Dr. Carl Murat Cantave, Secretary of State announced to the public last Thursday, the operationalization from February 1st, of a public network of ambulance, composed of a fleet of 35 ambulances to respond to emergencies of inhabitants of Department of the West. 5 additional ambulances will remain in reserve in case of problems.

A new phone number, the 116 will replace all other emergency numbers, between those in need of an ambulance and the network, informed Ralph Sénécal responsible for the functioning of the ambulance service. The management of the network will be done from a command centre [located in the neighborhood of Maïs Gâté] composed of a communications center, a dormitory and a garage for ambulances.

"The cover of the Department of the West will be provided through 7 circuits," stated Dr. Cantave. That first public network of ambulance in the West, should gradually lead to the establishment of a national network of ambulance and the gradual improvement of emergency health facilities. The next ambulance network, composed of 10 ambulances, should be put into operation in the Artibonite.
