What is the best type of transportation to take an injured person to a hospital?
If the situation is critical, call the Emergency Ambulance Hotline at 995. However, if it is a non-emergency, call the Non-Emergency Hotline at 1777. The best way to transport an injured person is by ambulance as taking a taxi or driving them there may increase the risk of more injuries.
