SAMU 061 commemorates the 25th anniversary of the start of its activity in Menorca

SAMU 061 began operating in Menorca 25 years ago with a single ambulance, in Canal Salat, Ciutadella. Today SAMU 061 has seven vehicles, after the recent arrival of a rapid intervention vehicle and a logistical support vehicle. The human resources have also grown; in this sense, it has gone from five doctors, five nurses and eight health technicians to sixteen doctors, sixteen nurses and sixty technicians distributed, in shifts, in the three bases on the island.
