The President of the Association of Private Ambulances complains about the inability of state ambulances to cope with the calls to transport patients to and from hospitals.
Speaking to Protoselidos, Roulis Christou, who stated that "the health system has not yet integrated the ambulances into the NHS even though the hospitals have ambulances and cannot operate them. It's really unthinkable for an ambulance to be outside a hospital and not be able to serve patients."
In addition, he stated that "There is legislation on private hospitals, private ambulances can be included and later, if the bill that has been under discussion for 10 years is finally passed, a more general framework should be created so that private companies can enter the health system and be licensed ».
"In the first stage, these can be done so that the patients can be served by the ambulances of the private hospitals. The OAU stubbornly refuses to admit the ambulances under various pretexts. It seems that the millions are enough for OKYPY, he doesn't want to leave them and thus it doesn't help that private ambulances also join GeSY", said Roulis Christou.
Finally, speaking about the problem and the number of ambulances, he said that "The problem with ambulances today is that there are 70 state ambulances and 70 private ones. These 70 ambulances served the state hospitals before the NHS, now they are called to serve the private hospitals that have entered the health system.
You realize they can't do it not because people don't do their jobs well but because it's impossible to serve the world."
