Emergency medical services are certainly not for giving someone IV fluids or measuring blood pressure.
Ambulance crews respond to cases where there is a real threat to a person’s life.
This was stated on TV by Minister of Health Viktor Liashko, reported by Ukrinform.
He urged Ukrainians not to call an ambulance for non-emergency cases.
“Emergency medical care is for emergencies, and the dispatcher decides how urgently to send an EMS crew in a given moment. Emergency medical care is certainly not the help to give IV fluids or to measure blood pressure. In such cases, a consultation with a family doctor is needed, and emergency medical care arrives in emergencies when there is a threat to life,” Liashko noted.
