Wau Teaching Hospital authorities launched an ambulance emergency number to ease quick arrival of patients, especially pregnant mothers and those in bad conditions to health centres.
Pediatric Ward Doctor James Angelo said the number would minimize delay of patients who could die before getting needed treatment at the facility, Radio Voice of Hope reported.
He advised Wau residents to call 0927000634 or 0927000633 and have ambulance at their door to save lives.
Wau Teaching Hospital has two ambulances after one crashed last week leaving two women seriously injured at Nazareth residential.
