Orihuela Costa gets 24-hr Ambulance

A regional government U-turn will see Orihuela Costa get a 24-hr ambulance service with its own dedicated SAMU ambulance. The government had previously claimed the 12-hr service, supported ‘out-of-hours´ by Torrevieja and Pilar – both within 12km of the coast – was sufficient. The new 24-hr ambulance service will have a doctor, nurse and driver allocated permanently.
