"Emergency services in Saipan, are provided by the Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services, which offers fire, rescue, and emergency medical assistance. To call for an ambulance, you would need to dial 911, which is the emergency contact number for the island. Once connected, you can request assistance and provide your location and details of the emergency. Keep in mind that response times may vary depending on the location and availability of resources," said another expat in Saipan, the United States.
"There is one hospital on this small island. It is in disarray from top to bottom, and in danger of closing according to local rumor. This is because of corruption in the administration, and inability to keep enough staff due to contract worker visas not being renewed," wrote a member who made the move to Saipan, US.
