Happy Birthday FF


Humans. Awfully bad at bouncing.


At the end of August a 16 year old girl and her friend were involved in a serious road accident in Javea. We shall call her Anna (name changed because the accident case is still on-going). At a fast road junction a car hit Anna and flung her off her bike, across the top of the car and onto the road on the other side.


Anna’s friend also was propelled over the car but not so forcefully. Whether as a result of initially being struck by the vehicle, or of thumping into the hard tarmac, Anna broke her femur which is the only bone located within the human thigh and is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. She also broke her wrist, and her jaw bone in two places. The friend escaped much more luckily, with no bones broken but of course she was deeply shaken, bruised and dazed.


Within minutes Anna was heading towards Denia Hospital in a Asociacion Amigos Europeos de Javea ambulance. She was immediately taken into the Intensive Care Unit, and there she remained until she had recovered enough to have a first operation on her femur, a second operation on her wrist, and then a third operation on her jaw. One month later she is back in the Javea area being wheel chaired around because she is unable to use crutches because of her broken wrist.


Accidents do happen. If it had not been Anna and her friend that the car struck it could have been anyone on the pavement close by. Heart attacks and strokes do happen. So do falls. And they can happen anywhere. Getting someone to hospital in the shortest time possible is invariably vital in the event of a serious incident.


This is where the Asociacion Amigos Europeos de Javea ambulance service is so vital. It is effectively a private ambulance service which will speed to you wherever you are. If at home, their ambulances all carry your address details and a map of the quickest route already pre-stored thanks to their on-board computer. If the incident happens somewhere else whilst you are out and about, one of their ambulances will hurry to you wherever you are. No waiting your turn as can happen with the Spanish state ambulance system, and no unnecessary delay. One of the ambulances will be despatched immediately.


FOR JUST €45 FOR A FAMILY FOR A WHOLE YEAR having this private emergency ambulance service available 24/7 for all 365 days of the year gives massive protection and peace of mind.


Despite its name, the Asociacion Amigos Europeos de Javea covers inland areas such as Jalon, Benidorm, Parcent, Pego, Oliva and so on. It is only because the Asociacion started in Javea and now has its Head Office there, that it is named as such. Its fleet of ambulances covers pretty much everywhere in the Marina Alta.


Join Asociacion Amigos Europeos de Javea by calling Laure Bolufer who is the Registration Manager on 96 579 6099 from 9am to 1pm, Monday to Friday. Laure will work with you to pinpoint exactly where your house is on the map, and establish the fastest routes to it, and this information will be stored in their system. Please get yourself and your family protected. You will each be issued with a personalised membership card to carry with you for easy use if you are away from home should any incident happen. For such a small annual amount you would be furious with yourself if something happens and you don’t have this service. Give yourself and your family the best chance.
