Nasimulan na ang Emergency 911 hotline na itinatag ni dating pangulong (Rodrigo) Duterte. Mas palakasin pa natin ito sa pamamagitan ng pag-institutionalize ng isang komprehensibong Emergency Medical Services System,” Go said.,He added that the bill aims to set up a system that would give the government the necessary tools and capabilities to respond to medical emergencies encountered by Filipino families nationwide.,“Ito ang magsisiguro na merong sapat na mga personahe, pasilidad, kagamitan at transportasyon na magagamit para sa epektibo, organisado at agarang paghahatid ng mga health and safety services para sa mga biktima o may sakit na kailangang masaklolohan kaagad,” he added.,Under the proposed measure, all local government units are mandated to establish an emergency medical service system for their area of jurisdiction as well as dispatch centers where constituents can call in cases of emergencies.
