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," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Gambia.
