ABEMS Adds Two Ambulances to Its Fleet
The vehicles will help emergency crews respond to calls, transport patients and maintain coverage across Antigua and Barbuda.
The Antigua and Barbuda Emergency Medical Services (ABEMS) has added two ambulances to its fleet, giving crews more vehicles to respond to emergencies and transport patients.
The Ministry of Health said the additional ambulances are expected to improve access to pre-hospital emergency care for residents and visitors across Antigua and Barbuda.
Health Minister Michael Joseph said the vehicles would give frontline personnel more resources to respond to calls and provide care.
“Our investment in emergency services is ultimately an investment in the safety and well-being of our population,” Joseph said.
ABEMS Director Shawn Greenidge welcomed the expansion, saying the additional vehicles would help the department manage emergency calls, transport patients and maintain coverage across the country.
The fleet expansion is part of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to strengthen emergency medical services and equip crews who provide care to patients before they reach hospital.
