My husband fell off a ladder painting and has 2 broken arms and a broken leg/ankle, we have been attending Torrevieja hospital regularly by ambulance which is booked through the medical centre in Cabo Roig, yesterday I went to book ambulance for next week and was told he has to pay for a taxi or get get driven, he can’t walk and is in wheelchair, he only has one working leg, I can’t get him out the house so he goes on a stretcher into ambulance, any advice please?

If you go back to your doctors he/she should be able to arrange ambulance service transport.

Hola.

I have an apartment in Zenimar which we use a lot in winter months.

I would like information on what are the best ambulances to use if urgentky requires?

Thank you Charlie

@Listavan: You might want to start your own thread with your question rather than jumping into someone elses thread as this can easily get a bit messy.

In case of an emergency you should call 112, which is the general emergency call number and they will send an ambulance if required.

@Liz2: As Steve did, I would also recommend you to go back to your medical center and see your family doctor, so they can prescribe / arrange ambulance transport
