Ambulance takes a patient to a doctor in Fergana (video)

In the city of Kokand, Fergana region, an ambulance transported a seriously ill patient to a doctor rather than a hospital. A video of the incident has been circulating on social media.

QALAMPIR.UZ reached out to the Ministry of Health for clarification regarding the situation.

The Republican Emergency Medical Center, operating under the Ministry of Health, provided comments to QALAMPIR.UZ, stating that the incident occurred on November 19.

"In the video, the doctor from Kokand, I. Soliev, is seen with the patient who was brought in by an ambulance. It was claimed that the vehicle belonged to the 103 emergency service. However, investigations conducted by the Republican Emergency Medical Center refute these claims," the statement reads.

It was clarified that the vehicle in question does not belong to the 103 service.

"This car is the property of a private clinic operating in Tashkent. The number plate on the back door confirms that it does not belong to the 103 service. Additionally, all ambulances in the Fergana region are marked with the official 103 service logos," the statement explains.

Despite identifying the ownership of the vehicle, the Republican Emergency Medical Center did not comment on the actions of the private clinic or the citizens involved in the incident.
