The Jakarta Government keeps strengthening the emergency healthcare service system by launching JakAmbulans, a medical transportation initiative now supported by a Rapid Response Medical Team comprised of professional healthcare personnel.

This free service provided ranges from pre-hospital care to the evacuation process to health facilities.

Jakarta Health Agency (Dinkes) Head, Ani Ruspitawati said this innovation is part of the Jakarta Government's efforts to ensure quick, accurate, and inclusive medical assistance, especially in emergency situations.

According to her, JakAmbulans aims to improve the accessibility of emergency health services comprehensively in the capital.

"By so, the community can quickly get medical treatment from the scene to the hospital," she expressed, Tuesday (5/27).

According to her, JakAmbulance is supported by 86 advanced ambulance fleets and 17 motorcycle ambulance units to reach densely populated and hard-to-access areas. They are available across various strategic points to expedite response to service requests.

"Besides being accessed via emergency calls 112 or 119, residents can also use this service via JAKI (Jakarta Kini) application," she explained.

This service is integrated with the PK3D Ambulance Command Center (Regional Health Crisis and Emergency Center), which will coordinate the dispatch of ambulances to the patient's location and coordinate with the destination health facilities to ensure readiness to receive the patient.

"Don't hesitate to use this service, especially in emergency situations. This is a form of the local government's quick and responsive presence in healthcare," she stressed.

As information, the launch of JakAmbulans with the Rapid Response Medical Team is part of three flagship programs in the health sector launched by the Jakarta Government, along with the White Troops and JakCare.
