Two modern ambulances received by IGSU from an American non-governmental organisation
The General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations has received two ambulances from a US non-governmental organisation. The vehicles will be handed over to the intervention subdivisions to be used in daily rescue missions.
Both ambulances donated are mobile intensive care vehicles, equipped with everything needed to keep the patient alive while being transported to hospital.
"They carry an electrocardiograph with a defibrillator, a directed breathing apparatus that allows the patient to be transported in a serious unconscious state. Vacuum aspirator, vacuum mattress. A team of four people is working on the given ambulances, two paramedics, a nurse and a reanimatologist-anesthesiologist," SMURD section chief Dumitru Carasic explains.
"When Alpha AID found out about the work you are doing, it was important for us as soon as possible to help you with these two vehicles that will be useful in the future," said Alpha AID NGO representative Tim Villes.
In addition to the two ambulances received today, there are five more in the inspectorate's fleet, the IGSU chief reports.
"These will allow us to strengthen our capacities for first aid, transporting victims as quickly and safely as possible to the nearest medical institution. They will also go south and north. We plan to provide such services in virtually every district, in every subdivision at district level that we have," pointed out the head of IGSU, Alexandru Oprea.
The total value of the donation offered by the American organization exceeds 47,000 euros.
