Emergency medical care is definitely not for hooking someone up to a drip or measuring blood pressure.
Ambulances go out on cases where there is a real threat to a person’s life.
This was stated on air by the Minister of Health, Viktor Liashko, according to Ukrinform.
He urged Ukrainians not to call an ambulance for non-emergency cases.
"Emergency medical care is for emergencies, and it’s the dispatcher who decides how urgently to send the emergency team at that moment. Emergency medical care is certainly not the assistance to hook someone up to a drip or 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.
Ambulances usually do not come for blood pressure or fever: what you need to know about how ambulance teams work.
Routes by which the ambulance transports patients can be politicized — head of the National Health Service of Ukraine.
