The life-saver on the road

Every moment that a patient waits is a moment wasted. In times when accidents have become the call of the day and diseases come in thick and thin, the ground ambulance is the one thing responsible for preventing the situation from becoming catastrophic. Being the first medical ‘thing’ to arrive on the scene, it’s important that they are well equipped. But reaching the scene is equally important as being available. With so few ambulance providers and creaky service infrastructure, many a times the patients’ call get lost in the transit. There have been many instances when either the ground ambulance was not available or even if it was there seemed to be no way to reach them.

A well-furnished and a well-timed ambulance can save many a lives. Equipped to handle basic, advanced and critical situations, a ground ambulance is must for providing the Emergency services. The team of paramedics, nurses and doctors could mean the difference of life and death in certain cases. In developing countries where air ambulance services are not that developed, ground ambulance remains the only solution. Even if a patient needs to be hauled through air ambulance, the importance of road ambulance is paramount in providing bedside-to-bedside facility.

Though many attempts have been made to make them accessible, patients’ and providers still get a hard time getting to the situation on time. AMB life is taking a giant step forward to overcome this dual challenge of inaccessibility and unavailability. It is an online portal which allows private ambulance service providers all over the globe to register with them. The patients’ on their part can search for any ambulance service based on country, state or even city. The portal even provides them with an option to rate and review the services granted. This a step in the right direction and is of benefit to both parties. While ambulance service providers get an access to large customer base, the patients’ get the option to select that at the touch of their fingers.
