Emergency medical services in France

Emergency medical services in France are a group of people whose main job is to help people who are sick or hurt really badly. They have special training and lots of knowledge on what to do to make sure that the person is okay.

When you or someone you know is really sick or hurt, you can call a special phone number, 112, called "SOS" in France, that will connect you to the emergency medical services.

When you call, a special team of people will answer your call and ask you some important questions. They will ask you where you are, what happened, and what the person who is sick or hurt's age is. They will also ask if the person is breathing, and if they are conscious or not.

Once they find out what happened and how bad it is, they will either send an ambulance, a helicopter, or a special doctor car to come and help.

The ambulance team or doctor will make sure the person is okay and try to help them feel better. They may give the person a shot or medicine or do some other important things to help them feel better.

They will take the person to the hospital if they need more help.

The emergency medical services are really important because they help save people's lives every day. It's important to always call 112 or "SOS" if you or someone you know needs help.
