In the Orel region, an ambulance did not go to the call of the patient because of the rain. This was made known today, March 27, during a meeting with the governor of the region. As a woman from the Verkhovye group said on the VKontakte social network, a resident of the village of Ivanovka in the Verkhovsky district needed help. An ambulance was called on the evening of March 25. But the doctor did not reach the patient because of the rain and the rutted road.
