HUG and CERN open an emergency response centre

  Geneva, 5 May 2015. On Monday, the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG - University Hospitals of Geneva) and CERN opened an emergency response centre on the Swiss part of the CERN site. The centre is the result of a collaboration established under the auspices of the Swiss federal and Geneva cantonal authorities and aims to improve safety on the CERN sites and in the western part of the Canton of Geneva. Every day, around 9000 people are present on the CERN site. The new mobile emergency and resuscitation unit (SMUR) has been operational since Monday morning. It is managed and staffed by HUG and comprises an emergency doctor and an ambulance driver, as well as an emergency vehicle. This SMUR team can be called out via the 144 emergency number in Switzerland.
