Through the adjustments of the country's health system and through the formulation of new policies and strategies, it must be understood by all that the strengthening of the health sector and the proper functioning of the Ambulance Service play the primary role for the well-being of the citizens of our country.
It is commonly accepted that emergency pre-hospital health care relies on the knowledge and skills required for immediate response and management of emergencies. It belongs to the fields of science where spectacular and rapid progress has been made in recent years.
The management of emergencies is often a complex situation and the response mechanisms require well-planned steps and manipulations. Such incidents require a high degree of organisation of services as well as effective planning. Emergency response requires military discipline, scientific flexibility and most importantly training, so that, health professionals can act and react to situations as they evolve, in a prompt and effective manner.
When a person's life is threatened by illness or violent external factors; the provision of urgent pre-hospital and appropriate health care is life-saving. The chain of survival begins with recognition of the emergency and immediate activation of the system, as well as provision of pre-hospital care at the scene of the incident, resuscitation, stabilization and transport to the nearest and most appropriate medical center.
The 70,000 responses of the Ambulance Service in the year 2023 prove that it is the only Rescue Service in our country with such a large number of responses and life-saving interventions to citizens.
Rescuing the suffering under adverse conditions such as rescue in mountainous and rugged areas complicates the work of rescuers and for this very reason, rescuers, should have all the means and equipment to be able to act quickly and effectively.
The donation by Mr. Andreas Psaltis of two mountain rescue vehicles will support the work of the Ambulance Service in rescuing citizens in mountainous and difficult areas as it will reduce the response time and provide the means for immediate response to incidents on the spot.
Dear Mr. Psalti,
Your commendable and valuable contribution confirms the increased social responsibility and empathy of your company and constitutes an example to follow. With this excellent initiative, you strengthen the response of the Ambulance Service and decisively support the work of the ambulance crews who, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, fight to save human life.
Finally, I would like to assure you that, as the Ministry of Health, we strive every day to support the development of health services in order to ensure the social good of public health for all.
We are happy to have you as a companion in our efforts to support the work of the Ambulance Service and remember that with your donation, many human lives will be saved.
