Maharashtra Plans Trauma Centres and Digital Ambulance Booking to Improve Accident Response
Maharashtra plans to enhance emergency response for road accidents by establishing trauma care centres every 100 kilometres along highways and procuring 80-100 ambulances for high-risk areas. The state is developing a digital platform to enable citizens to book ambulances via an app or website, showing live location, estimated arrival time, and service charges. This initiative aims to improve timely medical assistance during the critical 'golden hour' after accidents, involving both government and private ambulance services.
