(DIA: ja) AMBU 18177 Van Zomerenlaan 4205CP bon 132263

What happened?

On 18 September 2024 at 09:30, an ambulance was dispatched to a 112 emergency call in Gorinchem, on Van Zomerenlaan. The ambulance dispatch centre coordinates the response and sends a crew with priority lights and sirens to provide first aid on-site and — if needed — transport the patient to the nearest suitable hospital.

The ambulance was dispatched as a Direct Deployment (DIA): the dispatcher was still gathering details from the caller, but the ambulance had already been sent on the basis of the first signals. This avoids losing time in situations that look immediately life-threatening.
