They highlighted that previously the municipality faced limitations in emergency care, depending in many cases on private ambulances to offer the service. “With this new unit, we now have two ambulances, which will allow us to provide a faster and more efficient response to the population,” they noted, highlighting the positive impact of this donation on the quality of health services. On his part, Mayor Michael Melham expressed that “when an ambulance arrives, it’s not just a vehicle, it’s hope,” while valuing the efforts made by Senator Acosta to channel this aid. “We are here because we know it saves lives.

The ambulance was delivered fully equipped, with its registration up to date and the fuel tank full, ready to be put into operation immediately and reinforce the response capacity of the Municipal Hospital of Maimón in the face of any emergency.
