Police officer saves a child’s life

A police officer from Plovdiv saved the life of a child who had fainted.

This happened yesterday, February 14, when the head of the group for traffic control on the main roads and motorways in the sector "Traffic Police" at the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Plovdiv, Inspector Ilian Gvozdev, was in the yard of "Vasil Petleshkov" school.

Around 14.00, he was called to help because a pupil from the first grade had fainted in one of the classrooms.

He came immediately and in the meantime rang the emergency number 112 for an ambulance. In the presence of the school nurse, Gvozdev thought that an emergency response was needed and decided to take the child in the official vehicle to the nearby St. George Hospital.

With the patrol car's emergency lights on and sirens sounding, the child was transported to the hospital in about a minute and handed over to the on-duty team from the emergency room.
