THE Embassy of Japan, represented by by Second Secretary Tokiko Nishimura, recently handed over ambulance units to the Parañaque City local government unit.
According to the embassy, Parañaque City’s emergency medical services faced significant challenges due to a lack of available ambulances. With a population of more than 680,000, the LGU’s emergency-response department struggled to meet the growing demand for the emergency vehicles. As a result, more than 10 percent of ambulance requests were turned down annually due to shortages.
In her message, Nishimura highlighted that the ambulances will “dramatically strengthen the emergency-response system of the city’s first responders.” She also honored the local officials for their perseverance in “nurturing their constituents with timely and effective health care.”
