“We continue to recruit staff in an ambulance. Believe me, now it is very difficult. We’re looking for both doctors and drivers, ”he said in a statement posted on his Instagram.

According to him, 23 people from Mostransavto have already "boarded the ambulances."

“Thanks to them, they are real men. This is a dangerous job, it is sincerely respectful that they consciously take such a risk, ”the governor added.

He said that earlier an ambulance traveled 150 kilometers per shift, and now about 600 kilometers. According to Vorobyov, hospitalization increased.

“The patient is taken 30-40 minutes ... Often have to wait. Please, please, treat everyone who had to be nervous and wait a long time with understanding. This is because doctors focus on those who are on the verge of life and death, ”he said.
