The report notes that there is an atrophic shortage of staff – the deficit is about 40-50% of employees. Because of this, one substation, with only 4-5 crews, has to service up to 90 calls a day. Doctors reduce the time they spend with each patient in order to respond to all calls, but in the case of an emergency, there will be no one to respond. At the same time, medical residents were banned from moonlighting in ambulances.
It is noted that the main reason for the staffing crisis is called meager salaries: full-time paramedics receive 25 thousand rubles, and incentive payments have been reduced to a symbolic 150 rubles. Some employees have not yet received part of their January salary.
