When to call an ambulance immediately
Call 103 right away, without waiting, if you notice at least one of these signs:
- Chest pain or pressure lasting more than 5 minutes, especially with shortness of breath, cold sweat or nausea
- Signs of a stroke: drooping face, an arm or leg that will not lift, slurred speech, sudden severe headache. Note the time it started — doctors will ask
- Difficulty breathing, choking, blue lips
- Heavy bleeding that does not stop with direct pressure
- Loss of consciousness: the person does not respond to voice or touch
- A first-ever seizure, or a seizure lasting longer than 5 minutes
- Severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face or throat, rash and choking after a medicine, sting or food
In children — also immediately
- The child struggles to breathe: rapid or wheezing breathing, skin sucking in between the ribs, blue lips
- The child is unusually drowsy, hard to wake or unresponsive; in a baby — inconsolable crying
- Fever with a rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass (the glass test)
If in doubt, call 103 anyway: the dispatcher will help you assess the situation.
What to tell the dispatcher
Speak calmly and in order — the call takes less than a minute.
- Exact address: street, building, entrance, floor, door code. If you are not at home, name a visible landmark
- What happened and when it started
- The patient's age and sex
- Whether the person is conscious and breathing
- Leave your phone number and, if possible, send someone to meet the crew
Do not hang up until the dispatcher confirms the call. While the crew is on its way, prepare documents and a list of medicines the patient takes.
Paid ambulance services
The state ambulance is 103. By law, emergency and urgent care must be provided to every person, regardless of whether payment for it is guaranteed (Law on Medical Aid and Services to the Population, articles 28 and 31). For insured people the ambulance (up to 8 calls a year) is paid for by the insurance, and for uninsured citizens of Armenia by the state. Do not delay the call because of insurance, citizenship or money. Paid crews run by major medical centers are an alternative when you need transport or want to go to a specific hospital.
