SCDF encourages
public to call 1777 for non-emergencies
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) urges the
public to call the non-emergency private ambulance service at
'1777' if the situation at hand is not life-threatening.
This is to enable the SCDF emergency ambulances to concentrate on
attending critical cases where prompt response, early treatment and
conveyance to hospitals are crucial to a patient's survival
chances.
Members of the public, who wish to know what constitutes an
emergency, can find out more on the SCDF website at
