Buy ambulance common sense

Ambulance refers to various medical institutions at all levels (including pre-hospital emergency institutions, the same below) used for daily pre-hospital first aid, transporting critically injured and sick, dealing with emergency epidemics, emergency rescue on-site disposal, medical protection for major events or special events, and Professional special vehicles for transporting special items such as blood. The configuration of ambulances should be based on the needs of the population in the jurisdiction and the service radius of the hospital, medical rescue and other tasks, implement global coverage, reasonable layout, get out of the nearest car, effectively link, and treat in a timely manner.

An ambulance is a car specially used to transport the wounded. The car is equipped with a stretcher and sometimes emergency medical equipment. In a narrow sense, the concept of an ambulance is 1. A vehicle specially used by a hospital or medical unit to transport the wounded and personnel. 2. A car with special equipment used by survivors of a rescue plane crash. Therefore, hospitals and related medical units and airports are eligible to buy ambulances. At present, the most common units to buy ambulances in China are large and small public and private hospitals, state-approved qualified transport companies, civil aviation airports, etc. Private and ordinary units are not eligible to buy ambulances. Ambulances cannot be used in personal accounts. Some private individuals and units use "disabled transport vehicles" to steal the concept of ambulances, playing a policy edge ball!

When hospitals buy ambulances, they do not buy them directly according to their own needs, but need to apply to the local industry authority for filing before purchasing, and can only be implemented after passing. Ambulances in China need the approval of the local health authority to purchase according to the level of local medical construction. Generally, local health bureaus have vehicle management departments in charge of ambulance indicators. Private and private hospitals are relatively simple. After the competent department approves the indicators, you can find a regular ambulance manufacturer to buy them by yourself. According to different local policies, public hospitals can purchase by themselves within the specified amount, or openly invite tenders to purchase through the invite tenders process of government procurement.

How to identify an ambulance? The measures stipulate that ambulances should be equipped with marking lamps and sirens, which are divided into two categories: "120" network ambulance logo and hospital ambulance logo according to appearance spraying and logo. The "120" network ambulance adopts the international general emergency logo and the words "120". The body is white, the front of the car is marked with "area name" and "first aid", and the words "AMBULANCE" are written on the front; the side of the body is marked with the name of the unit and the international general emergency logo; the front door of the body is marked with "120" and the words "AMBULANCE" are written on it; the rear and roof are marked with the words "120".

According to relevant persons, the hospital ambulance adopts the unified logo of the ambulance of the medical institution, and the body is white. The front of the car has the ambulance logo of the medical institution, the side of the body has the name of the unit and the ambulance logo of the medical institution, the rear of the car has the ambulance logo of the medical institution, and the roof has the unified logo of the medical institution. In addition, the ambulance should post reflective tape around the whole vehicle (front, rear and sides).

The configuration of ambulances should be based on the needs of the population in the jurisdiction, the service radius of the hospital, medical ambulance and other tasks, and implement global coverage, reasonable layout, nearest vehicles, effective linkage, and timely treatment. For example, a secondary hospital is equipped with 1 ambulance per 100 beds, and those with 3 or more ambulances must be equipped with at least 1 emergency (monitoring) ambulance. A tertiary hospital is equipped with 1 ambulance according to 200 beds, and those with 3 or more ambulances must be equipped with 1 to 2 emergency (monitoring) ambulances. At the same time, the hospital can appropriately increase or decrease the number of ambulances according to the service radius, service population, workload, ambulance visits, etc., but must ensure the pre-hospital emergency and the medical treatment needs of the unit in the jurisdiction.
