Emergency Card

About

In emergencies it is of the essence to have the right information with you to share with Paramedics, at the Emergency or Intensive Care Unit, with your Family doctor and anyone else involved.

Emergencies hardly ever occur in front of the hospital where they know you. Have it with you at all times to avoid waste of precious time.
