Medical Rescue System Reform: New Rules for Staff and Dispatch Centers

This act introduces a series of changes to the State Medical Rescue system. It expands the pool of doctors and nurses eligible to work in rescue teams, introduces mandatory self-defense training for paramedics, and changes the operation of medical dispatch centers, including rerouting the 999 emergency number directly to them. It also introduces new motorcycle rescue units and changes in the planning of team deployment.
Key points
More doctors from various specialties (e.g., internists, surgeons, pediatricians) will be able to work in medical rescue teams after completing a special course.
A new type of emergency medical team has been introduced – motorcycle rescue units, which will operate seasonally (from May 1 to September 30).
The 999 emergency number will be routed directly to the medical dispatch center.
All members of emergency medical teams will be required to undergo mandatory training in self-defense and de-escalation techniques every 5 years.
Contractual penalties have been introduced for hospitals that refuse to admit a patient in a life-threatening emergency brought in by a medical rescue team.
Medical professionals employed in a shift system in medical rescue teams will be entitled to a pay supplement, retroactively from July 1, 2023.
