Advantages of the Dobrobut medical network
- Transportation of the patient to the destination in a short time
- Constant monitoring of the patient's condition during all stages of medical evacuation
- Possibility to carry out medical manipulations during the trip
- The level of training of medical personnel is checked annually by certified instructors of the European Resuscitation Council.
- Emergency vehicles comply with the Class C certificate (resuscitation vehicle)
- Medication supply complies with the current orders of the Ministry of Health and exceeds them in many positions
- All life support equipment has autonomous power supplies, which ensures the ability to work in isolation from any power supply for 2.5-3 hours
- The minimum oxygen supply in the reanimobile at the time of transportation is 10,000 liters, which is enough for an adult to breathe 100% oxygen for 24 hours (in life, there is practically no need for such a concentration of oxygen). If prolonged transportation is required, this supply can be increased.
