The HEAD of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that medicine in Crimea is under stress due to the large number of ambulance calls, and instructed to increase the number of crews. The head of the republic stated this at a meeting in the Crimean government.
“We understand that [ambulance crews] cannot cope, our medicine is under stress today due to the number of calls. However, it is necessary to save people from unnecessary walking around polyclinics, especially where there are confirmed tests,” he said.
According to him, the main question today is how to organize work without queues for vaccination against covid-19 . In this regard, Aksyonov instructed to add the necessary number of vaccination points so that vaccination takes place in a “quiet mode”. “The second position is the number of ambulance crews, think how to add,” he said.
