Jakarta: Jakarta Deputy Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama on December 6 Friday said that Jakarta would launch a “119″ emergency hotline.
“119 is actually a number that belongs to the health ministry, to get ambulances or emergency treatment space at hospitals across Jakarta, but we want to use it for a more comprehensive service,” he said. “Like 911 overseas… We want to build a system where ideally, if someone contacts 119, they would automatically be transferred to the relevant service to deal with the victim.” |
