Emergency medics insist on body cameras and sanctions for improper use of emergency teams

Only 30% of the cases that Emergency Service serves are urgent. The remaining 70 per cent are cases outside the functions of emergency teams. This was stated on the air of NOVA NEWS Galina Zaharieva, who is vice-president of the Union of Medical Assistants and Paramedics. She commented on what measures were needed for emergency assistance. Doctors insist on body cameras to be used as evidence when visiting risky addresses. They will serve as a preventive measure against aggression, Zaharieva said. According to her, panic buttons do not work because of the lack of teams of law enforcement in remote settlements. Body cameras could at least to some extent deter aggression, added the vice president of the Union of Medical Assistants and paramedics. Zaharieva also said that for the first nine months of the past year, police have registered 75 cases of aggression, but there are many more unregistered. In addition to body cameras, emergency medics also suggest imposing sanctions when emergency teams are being misused.
