Romania: First aid by motorcycle paramedics
January 28th, 2010
Cities in Romania such as Bucharest are having problems with ambulances getting to the scene of an accident in time to correctly help patients. The Romanian authorities are experimenting by putting out motorcycles equipped with a semi-automated defibrillator, an emergency kit, and an oxygen cylinder. The purpose of using these motorcycles is to get the paramedic to the site when the ambulance isn’t able to.
