Prime Minister Pashinyan inspects Yerevan ambulance service modernization and fleet upgrade

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the main ambulance station in Yerevan to inspect the latest modernization and re-equipment.

Accompanied by Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan and Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan, Pashinyan toured the station and was briefed on the investments made and reforms implemented, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a press release.

The fleet has been supplemented with seven new, modern, and fully equipped emergency medical vehicles, six of which are standard ambulances and one an ALS ambulance. The new vehicles are equipped with advanced medical devices, enabling the emergency medical staff to respond to emergencies more quickly and effectively, thereby improving the quality of services provided to the population.

Officials said that in 2026, an additional seven to ten vehicles are planned to be acquired to ensure the phased and complete renewal of the fleet, as well as the stable and uninterrupted operation of the service.

During the visit, Pashinyan also inspected the operations of the call center. It was noted that digitization efforts have been implemented. In particular, calls are now registered via tablets, an identification system has been introduced, and patients are electronically registered.

Within the framework of modernizing the "1-03" service, the recording and monitoring of calls have reduced the number of missed calls to zero. It was emphasized that the system serves not only the territory of Yerevan but also all calls made to the emergency "1-03" number throughout the country, ensuring their centralized coordination.
