Poland's emergency dispatchers stretched thin: Gdańsk shifts operate with none on duty

Medical dispatchers handling 112 and 999 emergency numbers are in short supply across Poland. Dr Jerzy Karpiński of the Pomeranian Regional Office acknowledged that Gdańsk has shifts with no dispatchers on duty, while those present field up to 150 calls instead of 20. The staffing shortages could have dramatically increased casualties had the Kraków attacker struck another city.
