Servicio de Urgencias Canario (SUC)

Servicio de Urgencias Canario (SUC) is the emergency medical service for the Canary Islands. It provides ambulance services, medical assistance, and coordinates emergency responses across the archipelago. SUC is in the news due to its involvement in responding to recent serious incidents. Specifically, SUC ambulances, including medicalized and basic life support units, were dispatched to the scene of a fatal motorcycle accident in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
