All ground ambulance and air ambulance service in New Brunswick is contracted by ANB to New Brunswick EMS Inc., a subsidiary of Medavie Health Services.

ANB is responsible for administering New Brunswick's pre-hospital emergency health services, which is delivered by NB EMS through a fleet of ground ambulances and their support facilities and approximately 800 paramedics.

ANB leases all ground ambulances from Malley Industries in Moncton, NB; it leases support facilities under long-term agreements, which are operated under contract by NB EMS.

NB EMS operates a central, provincial 911 ambulance dispatch centre in Moncton, entitled Medical Communications Management Centre, which coordinates emergency medical services across the province.

History

Prior to December 16, 2007, New Brunswick relied on approximately 52 private, public and volunteer ambulance operators to provide emergency medical care. The level of medical care, staff qualifications and type and condition of ambulances and supplies varied throughout the province.

Following the lead of Nova Scotia in 1994 and Prince Edward Island in 2005, the Government of New Brunswick created ANB on June 6, 2007 and began provincial operations on December 16, 2007. A 10-year performance-based operating contract was awarded to New Brunswick EMS Inc. which is a subsidiary of Medavie EMS. Medavie EMS also operates ambulance services in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

gollark: DON'T DO IT!
gollark: TC2020 or osmarks.tkcraft™™™™™?
gollark: Which aforementioned project?
gollark: See, osmarks.tkcraft™ would, hypothetically, as it does not exist, have maybe 60 mods, and I wanted to know how to manage updating them easily.
