MOSCOW, October 5 – RIA Novosti. Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko asked Finance Minister Anton Siluanov to consider the possibility of increasing funding for updating the ambulance fleet.

“As for ambulances, this problem is acute for all regions. I would ask, Anton Germanovich, to once again carefully look at the possibilities of increasing funding for updating the ambulance fleet,” the politician said at parliamentary hearings on the draft budget of the Russian Federation for 2027-2029.

According to her, this will support the domestic manufacturer, as well as resolve the issue of staff turnover in ambulances.

“Because when a car is broken and often needs to be repaired, of course, there are no people willing to work there,” Matvienko noted.
