Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

Background

Providing emergency medical and relief services to Palestinians is considered to be one of PRCS? most important activities since its inception. In 1996, it was mandated by the Late President, Yasser Arafat, to provide emergency medical services in Palestine.

Today, with a total of 41 stations and substations throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), 22 mobile field posts, 122 ambulances, 346 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and over 500 volunteers, the EMS department provides an efficient, flexible and crucial service for the Palestinian people.

Along with the EMS department, 1996 also saw the foundation of the Emergency Medical Institute, which trains staff and EMTs in the field of pre-hospital emergency medical care in accordance with international standards. Furthermore, the PRCS has been instrumental in the establishment of the national emergency number (101), by carrying out a nationwide campaign so that EMS services could be even more efficient.
