Emergency Medical and Fire Services Contact

In emergencies such as sudden illness, injury, or fire, call "128" to request ambulance or fire truck dispatch. Since calls are generally in Spanish, it is helpful to prepare simple phrases to explain symptoms or accident details, such as "Estoy herido(a)" ("I am injured") or "Hay un incendio" ("There is a fire"). Emergency medical costs can be high, and transportation to medical facilities is usually at your own expense, so having travel insurance is very important. While waiting for the ambulance, ensure your personal safety in a secure location.
