| Ambulance – 2 Nos.(1
Normal & 1 Fully Air Conditioned Mobile
ICCU Ambulance) |
The ambulance, which
is a Mobile Critical Care Unit, provides the
patient, the same care as would be available
in any well-equipped intensive care unit,
during his/her transit to the hospital. Designed
along the lines of the modern hi-tech ambulances,
it has all the fitments for an emergency unit
including a two -way communication system.
It is manned by a Doctor and trained para-
medical personnel. A telescopic stretcher,
which doubles as a trolley, minimizes the
transfer of the patient. Special shock absorbers
allow for a smooth journey. Moreover, the
unit being air-conditioned, it provides maximum
comfort to the patient while traveling.

patient, will be a male nurse and a wardboy,
apart from the driver, who would also help
in the shifting of the patient.

to all patients, whether adults, or children.

Emergency kit
This is a light - weight aluminum suitcase,
containing all emergency drug equipment and

of the patient, to start emergency treatment,
on the spot.
Two-way Communication System
The unit is equipped with a wireless system,
to provide for communication between the hospital
and the mobile care unit and vice versa. This
