Whereas, in compliance to the Hon'ble Supreme Court direction and also as discussed in the District Road Safety Committee on 23rd April 2019 and in order to ensure effective mapping of ambulance in the District, it is pertinent to focus on availability and accessibility of ambulance. Also the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety has set target to reduce 10% in the rate of death reported due to accident per annum;
LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT [ PART-I 2254 2254Whereas, it has been observed that many ambulances does not have minimum facility to cater to the sick/injured/disabled patients and merely used as a transport vehicle. This amounts to violation of the National Ambulance Code.
