Hyderabad: Apollo Hospitals has announced the launch of free ambulance services for emergencies within the city limits. Those in need of an ambulance in emergency have to simply dial the dedicated number of the hospital 1066.
On receiving the call, an advanced GPRS-enabled ambulance would be immediately, dispatched along with trained paramedics equipped with the necessary critical care equipment. Time is a critical factor in an emergency and the 24X7 ERS would help ensure that medical aid and support can be easily accessed during the critical minutes of the 'golden hour' helping to prevent death and disability.
"With this initiative we want to ensure that nothing should stand between a patient facing an emergency and timely treatment, we have decided to provide free emergency ambulance services within the city limits, a hospital representative said.
