Comandos de Salvamento continues providing emergency services despite a budget reduction, an activity it carries out 24 hours a day, assisting victims of traffic accidents, which are increasing day by day.

Statistics show that more than 6,500 traffic accidents have caused the deaths of more than 40 people, some of whom had to be rescued by emergency responders using hydraulic equipment before being handed over to Legal Medicine authorities.

Comandos de Salvamento and its Specialized Vehicle Rescue Unit are among the first institutions to respond to traffic accidents, as they have one of the best vehicle extrication equipment systems, which was recently repaired by specialized personnel who arrived from Costa Rica.

The traffic accidents, which exceed 6,000, have left more than 3,000 people injured, who have had to be admitted to different healthcare centers throughout the country.
