Dr Sawant, during his address, said, Today is also a very special day for Melghat as the bike ambulance service has been started there as well. The village was cursed with multiple child deaths due to lack of medical facilities and narrow roads. Bike ambulance service would be able to reach places where roads are not broad enough for ambulance vans. Also, with the help of Mobile Medical Units, Public Health Department of Maharashtra would be able to focus on slum areas and will provide facilities to people who are unable to call ambulances. All you need to do to save lives is to call ₹108.
Here are some pictures from the launch:
