In a new initiative aimed at providing timely emergency medical care to needy passengers travelling by trains, authorities of Prayagraj division of North Central Railway (NCR) are mulling over a proposal to introduce service of emergency medical room (EMR) at different important railway stations under its jurisdiction.
These rooms will be having a doctor and support staff who would provide emergency medical facility to not only the train passengers but also those who stay on the station premises for various reasons, be it authorized vendors, porters or for that matter common public that arrives to receive or see off their family members.
As per the present practice being followed by the railway authorities, whenever a train passenger needs any medical facility in an emergency situation, the approaching station is informed about the same and the railway doctor attends to the emergency.
