Monaco — Healthcare: Emergency Numbers

Emergency medical assistance in Monaco is exceptionally rapid and operates in seamless coordination with French emergency response systems. The primary public emergency department is located at the Princess Grace Hospital (CHPG), functioning 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with dedicated units for pediatric and adult emergencies. Emergency response vehicles are operated by the Monaco Fire and Emergency Service (Sapeurs-Pompiers de Monaco) alongside the public ambulance network. All emergency calls are triaged by medical professionals to dispatch the appropriate response team, which can include highly specialized mobile intensive care units (SMUR).
