Alavredi's Ambulance Service has recently worked very efficiently. In
2008 all employees and drivers of the service underwent additional
training.
"We no longer encounter problems with medicine or fuel," says the
Service Director Stepan Mosinyan. "The only concern is that we do not
have doctors on call. House calls are answered by the ambulance man
and hospital attendant on duty." The director says they cannot form
a mobile medical team because of the lack of finances.
"Monthly general expenses on first aid mount to 900 000 drams,
including the salaries of the 18 employees, and the money spent on
medicines, fuel etc. If we keep a doctor on call we must give him a
monthly salary of 120-150 drams which we cannot afford at present. The
service also needs a special ambulance lorry," says Mr. Mosinyan. In
2008 the service received 2577 house calls. There were 706 calls at
the beginning of 2009.
