The CEO and co-founder of Patna Air Ambulance explain to Vikash Singh why he speculates that they are here to save lives in crucial circumstances and even though the industry of Air Ambulance services in Patna and across India is still at an exceptional phase in India, they have become a basic portion of the advanced medical services bracket of the country, more so during the recent pandemic.

A year into the medical transport industry, Ambulance in Patna has reportedly enforced 100+ trips with an on-time rate of 98.5 percent, including 30 evacuations dealing with patient transfers, organ transfers, medicine as well as human remains transfer. So how does it deliver on its pledge to deliver emergency medical transport assistance at the exact time and the exact price?

He explains the challenges faced by his start-up Air Ambulance services from Patna, their membership model, the medical technology and human expertise that goes into operating an air Ambulance from Patna, and how some life-changing cases during the current COVID-19 pandemic (lock-down inside our lovely country India ) reaffirm their commitment to making this service more affordable across the nation.

How popular are air ambulances in Patna? Is there a demand-supply rift, particularly during COVID-19?

The Air Ambulance in Patna is still at a very nascent stage with ration only restricted to the circumstance and limited geographical boundaries. There are make-shift Ambulances in Patna, those which are almost available because of the emergency and have not yet evolved an industry criterion. It is especially because of the huge payments involved. The airlifting procedure isn’t cheap, and it even compels a lot of documentation for the patients to be airlifted. Both time and money stand the biggest challenge in Patna and are the reasons why air ambulances are only in appetite in severe emergencies.
