Emergencies

Locals and police are usually very helpful in emergencies. Most officers speak some English or will contact someone who does. For police, fire, and ambulance dial 999. There are 24-hour accident and emergency services at the Matilda, Caritas, Prince of Wales, and Queen Mary Hospitals. The Queen Mary and Adventist hospitals have 24-hour pharmacies; otherwise local chain Watson's has a pharmacy department at their shops throughout the city; they're usually open until 9 PM.
