Establishment of the National Ambulance Authority for Improved Service
April 3, 2026
The Parliament voted yesterday to establish the National Ambulance Authority, aiming to improve patient service. The new authority will handle patient transport and ease the burden on state ambulances, which will focus on emergencies. The transition is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026. OKYPY, which currently manages the ambulance service temporarily, has requested compensation for its investments. The National Authority will be responsible for organizing and supervising the related services.
