A life-threatening situation calls for immediate and independent action on your part. This information might be helpful and should be kept visible and accessible, taped on the wall by your phone, for example.

 
 

When telephoning to an emergency service, you need to:

 

Provide the following information:

 

a) your name and address, including the floor (étage) and entrance code number if necessary,

 

b) your telephone number

 

c) patient's name and age

 

Inform them of the nature of the illness or accident and what has happened since, and what treatment, if any, has been given. Also describe the patient's present condition (can not walk, is vomiting, is in pain, etc.)

 

 

Speak clearly and slowly in French or English. If you do not speak French and do not have anyone else who can make the call, the person on the other end may understand or be able to find someone who does. SOS Médecins and European Benefits can answer emergency calls in English.

 
 
 

Non-Life Threatening Emergency

 

If you need help in a medical emergency which is not life-threatening, the Office of Student Affairs can help you find the kind of medical service you need.
