Emergency Medical Service (''Rettungsdienst'' or more frequently just ''Rettung'') (EMS) in Austria is a service of public pre-hospital emergency healthcare, including (but not limited to) ambulance service, provided by individual Austrian municipalities, cities and counties. It is primarily financed by the Austrian health insurance companies. ==Organisation== In Austria the individual Austrian states (''Bundesländer'') are legally responsible for the provision of emergency services, but typically delegate these responsibilities to the individual community level. Municipalities, including both smaller communities (''Gemeinden'') and cities (''Städte'') are given responsibility by the State for operating EMS. Austrian law mandates the provision of rescue and fire services, including EMS, staffing and equipping according to levels which correspond to local population. Apart from Vienna, which operates its own EMS organisation (''Wiener Berufsrettung'', also called ''Magistratsabteilung 70''), all communities and cities delegate the responsibility to provide EMS to NPOs. Unlike other countries EMS in Austria is never provided by the fire department, the city of Admont being the only exception to this rule. Apart from the Austrian Red Cross some other organisations provide EMS such as the * ''Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Österreichs'' (Labor-Samaritan-Alliance), * the ''Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria'' (the Austrian organisation of the Order of Malta Ambulance Corps), * the ''Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe'' (the Austrian organisation of the St. John Ambulance) or * the ''Grünes Kreuz'' ((Green Cross )). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emergency medical services in Austria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
