CrimeaPRESS reports:
Today the Sevastopol ambulance celebrates 118 years since its foundation. About this date reminded Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev on social networks.
On March 30, 1905, the city’s sanitary executive commission decided that all patients with especially dangerous infections should be transported by a special ambulance called from the city hospital. This date became the starting point.
By the mid-1930s, the city ambulance station had only two cars, and an emergency station worked at the clinic on Bolshaya Morskaya.
With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War in 1941, the medical service of the city switched to wartime mode: 10 brigades provided first aid and emergency assistance to victims of air raids and artillery shells.
During the war, the city was completely destroyed, not a single medical institution remained, but despite this, 3 months after the liberation of Sevastopol, 21 medical institutions started operating in adapted buildings. On May 11, 1946, the ambulance station resumed its work. In 1999, the city center for emergency medical care was organized— Mikhail Razvozhaev briefly retold the story of the «Ambulance» of the Hero City.
According to him, for more than a century of history, a lot has changed in the service of the city ambulance.
Now ambulances are equipped with modern medical equipment: ECG devices, defibrillators, artificial lung ventilation and oxygen therapy devices, inhalation anesthesia devices and much more.said the governor.
Today, the Center for Emergency Medical Care and Disaster Medicine of Sevastopol has 5 ambulance substations, 3 base stations and disaster medicine. About 500 employees work.
Every day, without breaks and days off, 28 teams are on duty, with a heavy load, their number increases to 31. They can work out from 300 to 500 calls per day for a variety of reasons— Razvozhaev emphasized.
The Governor congratulated all employees of the Center for Emergency Medical Aid and Disaster Medicine on the day of the formation of such an important service.
