In De Haan and Wenduine there are more than 1,200 urgent medical interventions every year. Since last Monday, the ambulance now departs from De Haan itself, instead of from Blankenberge or Bruges. It must improve and accelerate services. “Public health had a problem with the fact that De Haan was not properly covered. They also argued for a shift and that has now happened. People could not get on site within the standard and from now on that will be possible,” explains Mayor Wilfried Vandaele. .
