Prov’l gov’t acquires six new specialized ambulances

Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson said they have purchased and acquired six new specialized ambulances which will be assigned under the province’s 911 Emergency and Quick Response Hotline.

During the turnover of the new vehicles this morning, Lacson said the units will be stationed in the cities of Cadiz, Silay, La Carlota, Kabankalan, and in the town of Valladolid.

Lacson said the new ambulances can be used for COVID or non-COVID related incidents, although he noted the ambulances are specifically designed to handle severe COVID-19 patients as if they are negative pressure ambulances.* (Capitol PIO photos)
