2020 is probably one of the most difficult years for Romania's ambulance service since its establishment, Health Minister Nelu Tataru said Tuesday in a message on National Ambulance Day.
He thanked the paramedics for their efforts, "to secure an adequate response to the most important global public health challenge of the last century - the novel coronavirus pandemic."
Romania's National Ambulance Day is marked annually on July 28 to celebrate the date when, in 1906, the first ambulance car appeared in Bucharest City on the initiative of professor Nicolae Minovici.
