Ziqitza Healthcare, an Amritsar-based healthcare company, on June 17 moved the Punjab and Haryana high court seeking directions to the Employees’ Association 108 (emergency ambulance service in Punjab) for restraining its around 1,200 members from resorting to a strike so that the emergency medical services are not paralysed in the state.
The Punjab government had in 2012 outsourced the recruitment of drivers and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) for ‘108’ emergency ambulance service through Ziqitza Healthcare. |
