Practice question Gezondheidszorg (Healthcare)
Which number do you call in a life-threatening situation?
In Dutch: Welk nummer bel je bij een levensgevaarlijke situatie?
Choices
- 0900-8844
- 112Correct answer
- 113
- 0800-0800
Explanation
Correct answer: 112
112 is the emergency number for life-threatening situations: fire, an accident or a medical emergency. The operator can send an ambulance, the fire brigade or the police straight away. Call 113 for suicide prevention. That is a different number with a different purpose.
Why the other choices are wrong
- Option A: Calling 0900-8844 is for non-emergency situations, not for life-threatening danger.
- Option C: The number 113 is specifically for suicide prevention and mental support, not for general life-threatening emergencies.
- Option D: Only 112 is the number for life-threatening danger.
