ADVISORY ON AMBULANCE ACCESS TO BUILDINGS
With the increase in ambulance calls that SCDF has seen in recent years, there is growing concern about ambulance access into buildings (especially non-landed residential), particularly for patients who require urgent medical attention. Some building designs and layouts make it difficult for ambulances and emergency crew to reach patients in a timely manner. It is also important that the patient should be sheltered during conveyance, especially during adverse weather conditions.To address this issue, it is important to provide sheltered access to ambulances.
