Aizwal: Dealing with emergencies has always been a nightmare in Aizawl given its hilly topography and narrow roads. But now the government has come out with a solution to respond to emergencies promptly.
The outgoing director of the state National Health Mission, Dr Gordon Zohmingthanga, has hit upon the idea of introducing "medi-bikes" which can ferry patients faster than the conventional ambulances. The project has been approved by the Union health ministry and six units of medi-bikes will soon be visible in Aizwal. Mizoram will be the first to introduce this service in the country. |
