The Union government aims at ensuring that there is one basic life support ambulance per 1 lakh population, Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Bharati Pravin Pawar has informed the Rajya Sabha.
This was her response to an unstarred question from MP Kanimozhi N.V.N. Somu, who wanted to know whether the lack of effective emergency care network, and ill-equipped and uncertified ambulances were the reasons for inadequate emergency medical response, resulting in high casualty rate during emergency medical crises in the country.
