The recent meeting of the Divisional Road Safety Committee in Bareilly discussed the introduction of helicopter ambulance service to provide rapid medical facilities to the seriously injured. Mandalayukta Bhupendra S Chaudhary directed to approve the proposal to make helipads on priority basis on main national highways and state routes. This will speed up the treatment process and help the accident affected people to reach the hospital immediately. Also, there was a discussion on strict action on running a helmet and making the youth a friend to stop the accident. In Pilibhit, concern was expressed at the rising accident rate while it has decreased in Bareilly.
The start of the helicopter ambulance service will improve accident control on national highways and high-ways, as this service will be helpful in reaching the injured patients to the hospital soon. This step is about to bring revolutionary changes in emergency health services, where the price of both time and life will be taken into consideration. The local administration is making several plans to expand this service so that patients can get excellent medical facilities. Under this, fully equipped ambulance helicopters including medical staff will be operated so that the patient can be treated quickly in any case.
The Road Safety Committee has also decided to take strict steps to prevent road accidents. Especially emphasis was on making ‘road safety friends’ to make the youth aware of road safety. This initiative will prove to be important in reducing the number of accidents and providing medical resources on time. Accident control and rescue operations will accelerate throughout the region, which will tighten the safety shield of life and property.
This initiative will not only improve the quality of treatment but will also strengthen life -saving emergency services, which will help accident victims immediately. The reach of helicopter ambulances will increase at the national level after the helipad construction and the response time will be less in emergency situation.
