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)
