In case of any emergency in Aruba, the main number to remember is 911, which connects you to ambulance and fire services. For police assistance, dial 100. For maritime emergencies or Coast Guard assistance, dial 913. These numbers work from any phone on the island, including mobile phones, and operators can assist in English.
For non-emergency medical situations, you can reach Dr. Horacio Oduber Hospital directly at +297 527-4000 (available 24/7), or call Urgent Care Aruba at +297 586-0448 for walk-in clinic assistance.

Keep in mind that Aruba is considered one of the safest destinations in the Caribbean. The police force (KPA) maintains stations in four districts – Oranjestad, Noord, San Nicolas, and Santa Cruz – plus several community tourism posts for better visitor support. Most hotels also have direct lines to emergency services and can assist you in contacting the appropriate help if needed.
