title: [Value of the 2000 radiocom system for a SAMU in a rural area].
abstract: The department "Meuse" is a region with a low density of population (190,000 inhabitants). The creation of a "SAMU" is quite recent (February 1988). The financial means allowed were limited so they didn't enable us to develop a radio netword peculiar to the "SAMU". The arguments which made us adopt the use of the 2000 Radiocom as a basic means of communication for "SAMU 55" are: immediate creation; reduced installation cost; preservation of the medical secret and possibility of extension.
