With the increasing hazard in the medical services and facilities and the stories of mismanagement and fraud even in the private and super-specialty hospitals, people have started being skeptical about the healthcare services and think twice before choosing a hospital. However, Max Super-Speciality brings a ray of hope in the dilapidated condition of medical services with the launch of an emergency medical and trauma care service christened Responder Bikes.
The Max Super-speciality hospital has introduced this new emergency service with an objective to ensure that the quick emergency medical care is not denied to patients at distant places where ambulance fails to reach for services because of narrow lanes, or traffic jams or other issues.
Under the newly launched emergency medical and trauma care service, two paramedics have been hired to ride the bikes, equipped with a defibrillator, oxygen cylinder, glucometer, glucose drip, BP instrument, some life-saving injections, and medicines. The paramedics would talk to the doctors after reaching the patient and start treatment immediately.
Cost of treatment
The patients or their families only need to call an emergency number to summon the Responder Bikes. Though the service is free of charge, it comes with a rider. If the patient requires hospitalisation, he/she would be asked if hospitalisation would be preferred at Max Hospital or in a government hospital. If the patient chooses to go to the government hospital, the family needs to pay only the ambulance charges.
