ALS ambulances by trauma centres at ORR
As soon as the trauma centres receive information about an accident, the Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances rush to the spots.
These centres provide emergency care to the accident victims on the spot and if needed, they are shifted to the trauma centres. Later, depending on the victims’ condition, they are shifted to the hospital of their choice.
Each ALS ambulance has the responsibility of covering an 8 km stretch of ORR.
