A wake up call for EMS (Emergency medical services)

It is very usefull ems....
Our country is in dire need of a critical care  system  is  syating  the obvious with more  than one lakh  road  traffic  accident-related  deaths ,98.5 per cent  ambulances are used for  transporting  dead  bodies .90 %  ambulances plying  on indian  roads are devoid of oxygen  related  equipment ,95%   have untrained personnel . within hospitals, most doctors  in emergency  departments have  no formal  trainng  in emergency  management . there is also  gross misuse  of government  ambulances and thus it is  not surprising that 30 % mortality  is due to delay in care .


Our country has recived many warning signals and wake  up calls . Maharashtra  state's first wake up call was  in july 2006 , when  serial train blasts exposed  the totle lack  of an emergency care  system  started  mulling an Emergency madical services (EMS)  bill month  before terrorists struk on 26/11,
yet again  exposing  the lack of preparedness.

But the good  news is that states have been  more proactive .GUJARAT implementd an EMS act  in februray  2007  .KARNATAKA  and DELHI  too got their  act together and the national rural health mission (NRHM) too added  an EMS cell in 2010 .the high court issued a stricture on the misude of  ambulances and the DELHI government notified the first  ever " ambulance standards " in the country in 2007 .(EH ,CHOWDHARY ,2012)
