Subject: [SEELANGS] ambulance query

Dear SEELANGers:

For teaching a unit on health and illness, I'm wondering about
whether there is a standard number in Russia akin to our 911 /
ambulance - "skoraia pomoshch'".  I have some students from Russia
who say that 01 is the standard number, but I remember reading
something in Moscow about 511.  Thanks for any help you can give me.
