Opening another road emergency point (ORKESH)

The presence of ambulance points on the roads is of great importance, as it can reduce the response time to accidents, which increases the chances of rescuing the injured.

The Kurdish Red Crescent, among the services it provides, opened the Orkesh emergency point at the crossroads linking the cities and villages of Amuda, Hasakah, and Qamishli.

This point is equipped with a team of paramedics and an ambulance with full primary and emergency equipment, and is ready around the clock to head to road accident cases in addition to transporting emergency cases in distant villages, in coordination with the operations room to facilitate access to the injured so that emergency services can be provided, and to transport them to hospitals in nearby cities in order to preserve lives, and reduce the time they take to arrive to receive appropriate treatment.
