What is important to be careful about when choosing a private ambulance?

The truth is that private ambulances serve to ease the work of public ones. They perform the function of medical transport and in many cases are even the better choice. You can read more about the need for private ambulances HERE.</a >

These days, however, there are quite a few so-called ambulances. Private individuals who demand huge sums of money to transport the needy.

With this article you can learn how to recognize fraudulent ambulances because they not only plow the name of all private ambulances , and the health of everyone in need depends on this.

1. Statistics

According to unofficial data, there are about 200 private ambulances in the country, and over 55 of them are in the capital alone.

The shocking thing here is the lack of control over medical transport performed by such ambulances. In the traffic police, they literally register on trust every “crumb” that has declared that it wants to be designated as a specialized means of transport. There are no requirements for medical equipment, and the team that will operate the ambulance does not even need to have a medical education. Precisely because of the absence of these regulations, currently about 90% of the ambulances in the country are without medical equipment or have at most an old stretcher. In general, we are more likely to define such ambulances as taxi-minibuses than a means of saving lives.

It is unfortunate that people who have come across such fraudsters lose confidence in private ambulances and put everyone under a common denominator. To find out what equipment we have, you can read HERE.< /a>

2. Essential questions to ask when choosing a private ambulance

We have already mentioned the gaps in the state for the existence of the so-called ambulances. We hope you never have to use this type of service, but still, here are a few questions to ask when choosing a private ambulance and protect yourself:

What equipment does the ambulance have? – as already mentioned there are no restrictions and regulations, literally any vehicle can be registered, such as an ambulance, even without the necessary equipment…
Does the team have the necessary education? – we have already described the existence of this problem … A medic is mandatory for every ambulance, and even the driver must have a medical education!
How much will it cost? – in moments of panic this is the question that we think last… However, we advise you to ask this question, as there are quite a few cases of people being charged unrealistic amounts for the most ordinary transport…

We at Special Medical Transport are from one on the one hand, we are proud that we are one of the few honest ambulances in the country, and on the other hand, we are upset that there are so many fraudsters who undermine the prestige of medical transport and risk the health and lives of patients.

The solution to deal with this problem is to create at least minimum requirements for the necessary medical equipment for each private ambulance , to require medical education of the ambulance team and more control by the state.
