Implementation of the project will cut this time to 15 minutes. The pilot project has already been approved by the Kazakhstan Healthcare Ministry. The funding issues are being dealt with. 10 ambulance cars have already been operating in Almaty under the new system for the last four months. The project will be implemented in Almaty by the end of 2013. "The point is that out cars are now equipped with navigators. The dispatchers can also use the navigation system to locate the cars. As soon as a call is received, the dispatcher can find a crew that is working near the required location. Under the previous system the car had to go back to the base and then set off for a new destination.
