Emergency medical services
Emergency medical services (EMS) are specialized services that provide urgent medical care to individuals experiencing medical emergencies. These services typically include trained personnel, such as paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), who respond to 911 calls and transport patients to hospitals. EMS can also provide life-saving interventions at the scene of an emergency.
EMS operates through a network of ambulances, emergency rooms, and communication systems to ensure rapid response. They are equipped with medical supplies and equipment to stabilize patients before they reach a hospital. The goal of EMS is to save lives and improve health outcomes during critical situations.
