I had appealed to Apollo Hospitals for an ambulance, this ambulance will be stationed here 24\/7. A policeman will be with the ambulance on our behalf, he will receive the calls on the toll free number and ensure the reaching of the ambulance at the accident spot, after rendering first aid, CPR etc., to the victim, he will be shifted to the nearest trauma care centre within the golden hour, and provided with lifesaving support, which enables saving a precious life.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n The ambulance service made available free of cost, can be accessed through a toll-free number 1066.
