Life-saver Chopper Ambulances May Get Green Light to Land Even on Roads


New Delhi: More lives may be saved in the golden hour after an accident as the government is working on an ambitious plan to allow helicopter ambulances to land anywhere near an accident spot — be it a national highway or a sports ground.

\r\n

The Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has proposed allowing air ambulances, to be known as Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), to land at accident and emergency sites without operational clearance. An inter-ministerial panel with officials from the Ministries of Home, Defence, Road Transport and Highways and Telecom, among others, will soon be formed to work out the modalities.
