Recently, a video surfaced on social media showing an ambulance moving strangely and bouncing on the road. The clip sparked a wave of comments and jokes. “What was that? A secret party inside or a new style of medical assistance? Maybe the driver is a big fan of gangsta rap and always dreamed of a car with hydraulics, like in the music videos?” — users humorously wrote on social media.
Despite the humor, many users rightly pointed out that the situation could have been very serious. If there had been a patient inside the ambulance at that moment, it could have posed a real threat to their health. A bouncing ambulance during patient transport is not only uncomfortable but also a real danger of worsening the patient’s condition.
The Ministry of Health issued an official statement regarding the situation.
It was revealed that the unusual behavior of the vehicle was caused by a malfunction in the suspension system. This occurred on the morning of September 23, when the ambulance, belonging to Substation No. 13 in Yangikhayot district, was traveling on Dumbirobod and Farhad streets. At the time of the incident, the vehicle was moving at around 40 km/h, and only the driver was inside.
Immediately after the issue was identified, the vehicle was taken to the motor depot of the Republican Center for Emergency Medical Assistance, where the malfunction was quickly fixed. The ambulance is now back in working condition and continues to perform its duties.
Such situations are unacceptable, and we hope that the Ministry of Health will conduct a thorough inspection of all ambulances to prevent similar incidents in the future.
