"120" is the emergency telephone number in China. Many countries in the world have unified national emergency telephone numbers. The United States is 911, Japan is 119, Britain is 999, Russia is 02 and so on. The national unified emergency number in our country is 120 (medical emergency).
Most cities and counties in China have opened 120 emergency calls for medical care. The 120 emergency calls are answered 24 hours a day, and ambulances and emergency personnel can be dispatched immediately after receiving the call. This is the most convenient and efficient way. In some areas where 120 is not opened, hospitals have also announced special emergency telephone numbers to the society, and patients can choose the hospital they want to call.
In fact, 120 is like a dispatch platform. For example, if you call the 120 center in S city, there are 3 hospitals in S city that can drive to your address, but if Hospital A is relatively close, then 120 will first contact Hospital A. If A If the hospital has an ambulance, Hospital A will pick you up after receiving the call. If all the ambulances of hospital A have been used, and when there is no way to get out of the car, 120 may contact hospital B for dispatch (this situation should not happen frequently.)
You can understand it this way: 120, like Public Security 110, is an organization managed by the government. For example, if you call 110 or 120, it is not the hospital that answers the call, but the department under the unified management. If you explain the problem, they will arrange the police station or the hospital to go to the police station or visit the doctor. In other words, the emergency departments of many hospitals are managed and distributed by the government.
