An extraordinary yet heartening incident took place at Yerevan's St. Astvatsamayr Medical Center, where a two-and-a-half-year-old boy was brought in extremely critical condition. Vagharshapat ambulance doctors had responded to an emergency call in one of the settlements of the enlarged Vagharshapat community in Armavir Province, where they found the child unconscious.
The emergency personnel succeeded in re-establishing the child's pulse at the scene following cardiac arrest, after which he was immediately transferred to the capital's specialized medical center. Thanks to the skilled intervention of the doctors, the toddler's condition was stabilized, and his life is no longer in danger, although he must remain under medical observation.
It was revealed that the child had accidentally fallen into a pit filled with dirty water and drowned, but relatives noticed it very quickly. Although they pulled the toddler out, they were unable to do anything on their own, and the prompt call to the ambulance turned out to be his sole salvation.
Regarding the incident, relevant documents were prepared at the Vagharshapat police department and forwarded to the investigative division for further processing.
Such cases serve as another reminder of the extreme vigilance required regarding children's safety, especially when open wells or unprotected areas are nearby. The prompt work of the doctors saved a young life once again, yet the prevention of such situations remains a primary issue.
