DAVANGERE/CHITRADURGA: Air ambulance services will bring about a revolution in the entire healthcare sector of the state and country, helping to reduce mortality rates by providing quality tertiary care to patients in need, but proper formulations should be drafted, says Dr Shalini Nalwad.
Speaking to The New Indian Express, Dr Shalini, the pioneer behind the air ambulance programme in the country and chairperson of the International Critical Care Air Transfer Team (ICATT), said there have been cases of loss of lives due to the failure in transplanting patients and organs speedily and air ambulances are the only means to overcome this. She lauded the move to boost air ambulance services in Karnataka as announced in the state budget presented by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in the legislative assembly on Friday, saying it will bring a sea change in the healthcare sector.
