Only in Arkhangelsk for the year served over 150 thousand calls. In Severodvinsk - half, but still longer than planned loads.
According to chief doctor ambulance station Severodvinsk Elena Pavlova, in 2003 only every second challenge was served on time. Now 90 per cent of medical crews arrive on the scene within 15 minutes. Substantive help patients is not possible without the normal techniques. Fleet area stations helped improve the implementation of the national project "Health". For example, the station received Arkhangelsk, Russia with 27 cars in 2006 - Park upgraded by 67 per cent.
