Maharashtra to Launch Digital Platform for Ambulance Tracking and Fare Regulation
The Maharashtra government plans to introduce a comprehensive ambulance policy to enhance emergency medical transport efficiency and accountability. The policy will include real-time digital tracking of all registered ambulances, fare regulation, and integration with hospitals. It aims to provide citizens with reliable information on ambulance availability, location, response times, onboard medical facilities, and fare estimates through a unified digital platform with multiple applications. Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik emphasized the importance of ambulances as vital life-saving services, with over 1,000 ambulances under the MEMS-108 project and thousands more operated by private and charitable entities.
