上海将优化现有救护车服务系统   2015-08-28

 

LOCAL health authorities are considering ways to restructure the city’s ambulance service in a bid to improve response times following a sharp rise in the number of non-emergency calls.

In 2011, non-emergency cases accounted for only about 17 percent of the calls received, the Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission told a press conference yesterday.

Last year, of the 642,000 “trips” made by the city’s 600 ambulances, 40 percent were non-emergencies, it said.
