“Because when we look at the expenditure of the PCSO, the charity work is reduced and the PCSO goes to other work,” he added.

The turnover of 90 PTVs was in line with the celebration of the PCSO’s 90th anniversary.

It was provided under the government’s Medical Transport Vehicle Donation Program, which aims to immediately and safely transport the patients to, from, and between locations with most efficient access to places of treatment by land, water, and areas of rough and mountainous terrain.
