Armenian president inspects new center equipped with China-provided ambulances
TBILISI June 23
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Thursday visited an ambulance
center that has just received 88 new ambulances from China under the
two countries' technical and economic cooperation package.
The president also toured the newly refurbished center, known as the
Ambulance CJSC's Center.
Armenian Health Minister Harutyun Kushkyan said 35 of the 88
ambulances provided by the Chinese government would be used in the
Armenian capital and the others would be used by local first-aid
centers in the provinces.
The minister said the new vehicles were important for Armenia because
the Ambulance CJSC's Center and its fleet had not been upgraded for
the past 20 years.
The Armenian government is implementing a modernisation program of the
Armenian ambulance center, which is also to get a global navigation
system, monitoring systems and training programs.
"We can say today that we have all the necessary technical
capabilities and medics to provide top-level first-aid to our people,"
Kushkyan said.
