Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government is studying a proposal to launch an app-based online ambulance-hailing service on the lines of taxi services like Uber and Ola. Kerala Medical Services Corporation, a state utility, has put forward this public-private partnership (PPP) proposal to improve the Kerala healthcare model. If the Uber-model ambulance service plan is implemented, the person in distress or his/her companion could summon an ambulance through an app in one’s mobile phone. The nearest available ambulance can be rushed to the distress spot. |
