Ghariyan, 27 March 2015:
Ghariyan is in short supply of ambulances these days, and in order for paramedics to effectively . . .[restrict]serve the local population, the town needs acquire more vehicles, according to Ghariyan Rapid Ambulance Service Director Abdel Razzaq Al-Ayub. He says the service currently has seven vehicles at its disposal, but needs 15.
The service has been borrowing three cars from the Tripoli branch, but it must acquire its own, he said.
While the work of the paramedics is certainly hampered by the ambulance shortage, it is also affected by fuel and fund shortages.
“Our employees have been forced to pay out of pocket for maintenance of the vehicles, as the flow of funds from the government has stopped,” Ayub said.
The service is also in need of wireless communication devices for the vehicles, as they’ve been forced to use their personal mobiles for the work. [/restrict]
