Now, critically ill patients admitted to Balrampur Hospital’s emergency will seamlessly be transported to the ICU in e-rickshaws. The e-rickshaws will have arrangements to carry stretchers and oxygen cylinders.
The objective is to facilitate the swift and efficient transfer of seriously injured and ill patients from the emergency ward to the ICUs at Balrampur Hospital. These patients require immediate attention and treatment, which are only available in the ICUs.
Manual transportation can lead to delays, consuming valuable time crucial for providing prompt medical care. By utilizing e-rickshaws, the hospital aims to ensure a smoother and faster transfer of critically ill individuals, allowing them timely access to intensive care facilities for necessary treatment.
