"Emergency services in The Netherlands are highly efficient and reliable. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial 112, the national emergency number. This number is free of charge and can be dialed from any phone, including mobile phones. The operator will ask for the location of the emergency and the type of assistance needed. The operator will then dispatch the appropriate emergency services to the scene," explained one expat living in Netherlands.
