The service, provided by Ambumar SYA, will use two recently acquired vehicles, one for Pinar de Campoverde and the other that will cover the entire municipality 24 hours a day.
The councillor of Health, Nieves Moreno, explained that they will be used “for the movement of patients by ambulance to the corresponding health centre in case of emergency, as a monitoring service for home help situations and preventive services at sporting, holiday and cultural events’.
