Vanuatu Emergency Services Association (VESA) is a non-government organisation (NGO) incorporated locally as a charitable association. VESA operates the ambulance service, ProMedical, which provides 24-hour international standard paramedical ambulance services on the islands of Efaté and Espiritu Santo. VESA also operates a dedicated rescue team, ProRescue, modelled off Australian SES who provide road accident rescue, high angle rescue, domestic and industrial rescue as well as assistance at complex & multi-casualty cases.

ProMedical currently receives no direct funding from the Vanuatu government. ProMedical relies on funding via sponsorship through our international partners, from local businesses and through subscriptions from residents within the local community.  We now have around three Ni-Vanuatu subscribers for every foreign resident member.  This means that we are one of the few charities that can genuinely claim to serve the whole community.
