Ambulances will be positioned around "conflict areas", along some of the most accident-prone road sections during the summer. The aforementioned have been identified and designated by traffic police as hazardous areas "with a high concentration of road accidents".
Ambulances will be positioned at standby in all municipalities: Blagoevgrad, Bourgas, Varna, Veliko Turnovo, Vidin, Bratsa, Gabrovo, Dobrich, Kyustendil, Lovech, Montana, Pazardjik, Pernik, Pleven, Plovdiv, Razgrad, Rousse, Silistra, Sliven, Smolyan, Sofia city, Sofia metropolitan, Stara Zagora, Turgovishte, Haskovo, Shoumen and Yambol. In some places, such as Sofia, Plovdiv and Sliven, more than one ambulance unit will be dispatched.
The operation is designed to enable medical units to offer faster medical assistance to accident victims in hazardous areas.
The funds for the ambulance task force have been gathered and provided by the Health Ministry, which will also act as a co-ordination and administration centre.
Paramedic teams will be deployed round the clock, starting from June 15. The campaign will last until September 15.
