[Organization of an emergency medical service: 15 years' experience in Brussels].
Two EMS (Emergency Medical System) belonging to the Free University of Brussels present the results concerning primary interventions. Calls come from the "Service 900" and from general practitioners. Trauma emergencies were inexistent in 1969. They now follow the cardiac emergencies in 1982. EMS are public services. Their collaboration with hospitals should be developed.
