ANALYSIS OF THE STAFFING AND STRUCTURE OF THE AMBULANCE SERVICE IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Objectives. The ambulance service is a crucial component of any healthcare system, providing life-saving care to those in need. The problem of staffing the ambulance service today is of the most acute importance. The state of the ambulance service is now seen as a factor of national security. To study the organization of emergency medical care, a comprehensive characterization of the quality of the personnel potential of an institution and the conditions for its development is of great importance.
The aim of this study is to analyze the staffing of emergency medical care in Kazakhstan.
Materials and methods. An analysis of the personnel of the ambulance service of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2018-2021 was carried out.
Results. An increase in the number of paramedic teams and decrease in the number of doctor's teams was shown. The percentage of categorization for doctors increased to 68.7%, for nurses to 46.2% in 2021. The coefficient of part-time work in all years remained equal to 1.1. The percentage of staffing for 2018-2021 decreased in all categories in 2021.
Соnclusion. The Republic of Kazakhstan's ambulance service is still developing in terms of both staffing and organizational structure. Despite a large growth in recent years in the number of ambulance stations, there is still a lack of trained medical people to staff them. One of the measures taken by the government to solve this issue is the expansion of training programs and simulation centers.
