Almost all ambulance stations are getting new ambulances in 2019 and 2020, the state secretary for health Ildikó Horvath said.

All ambulances come with state-of-the-art equipment.

Some 2,500 pieces of ambulance equipment are being purchased, including defibrillators and breathing apparatus, with government support of 1.6 billion forints (EUR 4.8m), she added.

A total of 254 ambulances will be acquired this year and next, resulting in a total of 1,000 new ambulances purchased since 2010, she said.
