The Time It Takes Ambulances to Reach Cases in Konya Has Decreases

An evaluation meeting was held with Konya Provincial Health Director Prof. Dr. Mehmet Koç and 112 Emergency Health Services Station Officers.

Stating that their aim is to further improve the quality of health services and to serve under the best conditions, Mehmet Koç said, "We have shortened our time to reach cases by increasing the number of stations in Konya from 68 to 86.
