Why are ALS and BLS Ambulance so Important?

Medical emergencies is a moment of quick reactions and critical medical supports. But is it always feasible to have a hospital nearby the location where emergency occurs? Think of a road accident on the National Highway. If you are not in luck, the nearest medical help might be some miles away, at the very best. That is where a role of an ALS ambulance or a BLS ambulance comes in. In many ways, they can be called as mini-hospitals. It won’t be an exaggeration if we call them as hospitals on wheels. In case you are not sure about what they mean, click here for BLS and here for ALS.

·         Hospital’s not close everywhere – as already mentioned above, they are especially crucial in those situations where a hospital is very far from the site of emergency. The BLS and ALS ambulances are well-equipped to handle many cases that involve easing the blood circulation, maintain the airway clear and improving the breathing.

·         Can be performed by a bystander aswell – especially BLS. Since basic life support doesn’t involves administration of liquid drugs, any person who has even basic knowledge of First Aid can act as a First Responder. Of course, it goes without saying that for ALS is an improvement upon BLS.
·         ALS can be better than our primary hospitals – if only they abide by the regulations. (AMB life article about registration of ambulance in Delhi )An advanced life support ambulance is equipped with medicines and facilities to provide many critical care supports. Unlike BLS, they are permitted to administer invasive drugs as well. They can also monitor the heart rate, apply defibrillation and provide appropriate medication.

·         Much cheaper than a hospital – in some medical conditions it is economical to utilize the services offered by an ALS ambulance than a hospital. Unlike the latter, they rarely come stringed with separate registration fees, doctor’s charges, etc.

·         Easier to get a bed on ALS or BLS ambulance than in a hospital – we are all aware of the pathetic conditions of our hospitals especially primary and government ones. While it can’t be said with certainty that you can get a comforting bed in those hospitals, what can be said with certainty, though, is you can easily book an ambulance nowadays. There are many startups that are engaged in delivery of quality emergency ambulance services.


ALS and BLS ambulance assume particular importance in remote places. Since hospitals are rarely available, it all depends on these mini-hospitals to provide the people living there with timely medical help. If you have been looking for platforms where you can book ambulances online, visit
