What are emergency services like in Gambia?
When we asked members about emergency services in Gambia, they wrote...
"Emergency services in Gambia are limited and vary in quality. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial the Gambian emergency number, 112. This number is free to call and connects to the Gambian Emergency Medical Services (GEMS). GEMS is a non-profit organization that provides emergency medical services to the public. They have a fleet of ambulances and medical personnel that are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," commented one expat who made the move to Gambia.
