St. Petersburg will add 100 new ambulances to its emergency medical fleet by the end of the year under the Health of St. Petersburg Residents priority project. The vehicles will be distributed to city clinics and the Shorodsky ambulance station.
The ambulances are manufactured domestically with base vans produced in Yelabuga, converted in Ulyanovsk, and equipped in St. Petersburg. City officials plan to acquire more than 300 ambulances between 2025 and 2026. The expansion comes as the city faces a shortage of medical workers despite increased healthcare sector wages.
