SCDF encourages public to call 1777 for non-emergencies
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) urges the public to call the non-emergency private ambulance service at '1777' if the situation at hand is not life-threatening.
This is to enable the SCDF emergency ambulances to concentrate on attending critical cases where prompt response, early treatment and conveyance to hospitals are crucial to a patient's survival chances.
Members of the public, who wish to know what constitutes an emergency, can find out more on the SCDF website at www.scdf.gov.sg. - CNA/so
