How many ambulance are there?

How many ambulances need to be equipped?

Each country should have its own set of standards for how many ambulances are equipped for each city and every level of the city.

Here, I take China as an example. At present, China requires one emergency vehicle for every 50,000 people in accordance with the "Basic Standards for Medical Institutions" of the Ministry of Health.

Take Shandong Province as an example:

The province has a total of 2,129 120 ambulances, with 1 ambulance for every 50,000 people. The service radius in urban areas is no more than 5 kilometers, and the service radius in rural areas is about 10-20 kilometers. The opening rate of 120 emergency calls in the province reaches 100. %, the answering rate reaches 95% within 10 seconds, and the trip rate reaches 95% within 3 minutes. Through the 120 emergency system, patients can receive telephone guidance and preliminary treatment on the spot in the shortest time, and can effectively shorten the time to the hospital.
