About Ottawa Paramedic Service Communications

Central Ambulance Communications Centre

The Ottawa Paramedic Service - Central Ambulance Communications Centre is responsible for receiving and dispatching all calls that deal with medical or traumatic life threatening emergencies in Eastern Ontario.

That dispatcher is responsible for selecting the most appropriate paramedic unit to respond to the call.
