The construction of a new helicopter pad at MBAL Pazardjik will be completed by the end of August, announced the director of the medical facility, Dr. Krasimir Temnilov.
The cost of the facility is 153,000 euros excluding VAT, and the funding is provided by the Ministry of Health and the hospital.
The project for building the pad is part of the national emergency air medical assistance system and will enable faster transportation of critically ill patients.
Dr. Temnilov stated that currently, patients are transported by ambulance to Sofia and Plovdiv, but there are sometimes difficulties on the highways – traffic jams and accidents, where ambulances have nowhere to go.
The new infrastructure will improve communication between emergency services and hospital teams.
The director added that the air ambulance will be used only in extreme cases, as a helicopter represents a very expensive service.
