Committed to continuing the good work

Speaking about this journey, Mr. Sumit Basu, Senior Vice President, Ziqitza Healthcare Limited, said, “Our journey so far in Jharkhand has been extremely incredible and enriching. We are grateful to the Jharkhand government and National Health Mission (NHM) for helping us successfully render our services and help people. We are committed to continuing the good work in future as well. In the case of Jharkhand, pregnant women have sought our help the most. So far, we have served 3.59 lakh pregnant women to reach the hospital safely and on time. Apart from this we have also served 1.45 lakh accident related cases. Even now, every day we receive thousands of calls and our ambulance service is required at hundreds of places, but we are ready at every moment to offer help at every city and every village. During our tenure, we have also faced lots of challenges, but we are making continued efforts towards improving our services through hard work and dedication to save lives.”

337 ambulances deployed across the state

Mr. Milton Singh, Project Head, Ziqitza Healthcare Limited said, “In event of any accident or medical emergency, the first thing that comes to every person’s mind is to call 108 ambulance. This emergency service operated by ZHL in Jharkhand is available to the general public 24x7. The company has its centralized call center in Ranchi with a capacity of 65, from where all the calls are managed and ambulances are dispatched. The company has state-of-art facilities at the call center as well as in each of its ambulances.”

To operate this free of charge service in every nook and corner of the state, 337 ambulances are deployed out of which 40 are Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances, while 287 ambulances are operating with Basic Life Support systems. 10 ambulances in the state are used on national highways to tend to accident cases on highways. Dial 108 EMRS service is a 24x7 toll free helpline number, where accident victims and pregnant women can call for assistance. Ziqitza Rajasthan have similar thoughts on this EMRS service.
