Air ambulance service in Telangana on the cards

Hyderabad: State Medical and Health department has taken up a study on the implementation of chopper ambulances in the European countries with a view to introduce Air ambulance facility in Telangana.

According to a senior official of the department Telangana government is developing a new concept of ‘air ambulances’ in the State. Right now the proposal is at an initial stage. The new facility would help to provide instant medical treatment during natural calamities like fire mishaps and heavy rains.

According to sources the government would soon hold a meeting with corporate hospitals and other stake holders to seek their suggestions before finalising modalities under the State health policy.
