Ambulance # certainly doesn't work...
A 3 year old kid in the play-school was unconscious having a seizure last week, no one could get through to the city switchboard or the 997#. Landline and mobiles were useless.
One teacher was able to contact an ER Doctor directly on his mobile. The Dr. dispatched an ambulance.
The kids Dad got to the school first and took him to the medical in his own car.
You are basically on your own in an emergency.
That said, once the child got to Saudia Medical, the ER staff preformed very well. Child is fine now.
