On the site of civil initiatives alash.online "We demand the protection of ambulance workers!" "Adyrna" national portal reports.
The author of the petition is Argyn Smaililov, an ambulance driver. According to Azamat, his colleagues are often treated with disrespect and aggression.
"This is my soul cry as an ambulance driver. I am an ambulance driver with 10 years of experience. I want to talk about the problems of emergency workers because I am tired of our own insecurity. Society demands that we save their lives and come quickly in times of trouble. But they don't just respect us, they even prevent us from working," the employee expressed his opinion.
In addition, Smayilov noted that emergency doctors are often attacked in apartments where they called for help.
"Emergency workers need to be recognized as vulnerable. Teachers, police, military have status - now it's time to protect our status and us from the inappropriate actions of citizens. Aggression against medical workers should be equated with an attack on the police. If you kick and damage an ambulance - a fine. Ambulance beat the driver - 1 year in prison. And for beating the doctor, the minimum sentence should be 3-5 years," says Smayilov.
