New buzz! Air Ambulance

Mumbai: Specialty hospitals to airlift patients in emergencies. Air ambulance – airlifting patients or doctors in an emergency – is a concept fast catching up in India. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH), the new avatar of Dr Mandke Heart Hospital in Mumbai, is the latest to offer this facility.
"We had originally planned a helipad on the terrace of the hospital. The air ambulance service would become functional along with the commissioning of the hospital," Dr Alka Mandke, director of KDAH, said.
The hospital, scheduled to be commissioned by early 2007, is planning to introduce the service in collaboration with a leading aviation company.
