If you are the "next of kin" for some one who is a member of the Health Care Database, then you will be the first to know when your loved one is in an immergency situation.
The doctors or emergency responders will use the Health Care Card or the next of kin records within the Health Care Database to contact you as soon as your loved one is in danger.
Many family members spend their daytime hours away from home, most of such family members are out to work or in school. Emergencies occurring during hours of operation require that you get to know about them in good time so that you can take control of the situation before its too late.
