Emergency can knock on your door any time, without any
warning or caution. It holds true for your health as well. The distance between
a smile and a sob is just a moment away. In face of such uncertainties, it’s
only fair that there be a 24 hour ambulance service that can safely carry us to
the nearest medical center in the quickest time possible. But while the thought
is noble, the reality is harsh. A recent independent research done by eHealth
found that in Delhi/NCR alone, there are at least 350-400 hospital admissions
related to serious cases like heart strokes and traumas which require immediate
medical attention. This condition can only be met if there is a 24
hour ambulance service to go along with a medical center that works
round the clock.
Removing the bottlenecks
While we are
all familiar with the issue and are also certain about the solution, what we
don’t pay heed to are the roadblocks that are preventing the omnipresent
availability of ambulance service. We will look at some of them –
Not all medical centers are open 24x7 – there are very few
clinics in the city that tend to patients round the clock. The number is
staggeringly low as one moves away from the cities to suburbs and rural areas.
So even if you do have access to 24 hour ambulance service you can’t avail one.
The key is to find the clinics that entertain ambulance services every second. This
can be done either by researching online or could be done by the help of our
portal.
Not every ambulance provider is a night owl – similar to the
clinics, not all ambulance carriers tend to patients at odd hours. Thankfully
this is a much minor concern. With AMB life, our portal, you can categorically
search for only those providers who offer 24 hour ambulance service.
Are they well-equipped? – This is another big issue and can
assume immense importance in cases where patient happens to be suffering from
can-be-fatal emergencies like heart strokes, traumas etc. On AMB life we make
sure that this limitation is overcome by partnering with private carriers who
provide 24 hour ambulance
service offering ALS and BLS ambulances equipped with state-of-the-art
medical apparatus. It is made sure that each ambulance carries essential
equipment and medical supplies including glucometers, albuterol, defibrillators,
aspirin, pulse oximetry, intranasal naloxone administration, splints, bandages,
oxygen tanks and masks, etc.
TL; DR
A 24 hour ambulance service is very important in meeting
emergency situations. While not all service carriers provide for this, you can
always count on us for booking one. All that you need to do is visit our online
portal once.
