The mayor of Ashcroft is raising the alarm about a lack of ambulances and medical care in her community after a person went into cardiac arrest Sunday and no one was available to help.
The incident occurred in the same block as the ambulance station and the Ashcroft Hospital and Community Health Care Centre. However, with no ambulance available locally, one had to be called from either Logan Lake or Clinton, half an hour away.
The hospital emergency department is also closed this weekend due to “limited physician availability,” according to a public service announcement sent by Interior Health on Friday.
