The Emergency Unit of Rosales National Hospital released a report on emergencies attended by Salvadoran EMS crews. A total of 1,660 emergencies were documented between July and December 2009. Of them, 476 were attended to by CDS, 387 by the Red Cross, 515 by the National Civilian Police, 139 by the Green Cross, and others by various groups and individuals. This report demonstrates the responsiveness of CDS during EMS and Rescue runs. The following photo essay shows CDS EMS crews helping young patients that are trapped in their vehicle last week on the infamous “Troncal del Norte” that heads north out of San Salvador.
