The
Rajasthan government has passed regulations that any injured person in any
place would be escorted to private hospitals also by 108 facility in state. The
drivers of 108-ambulance facility would escort the injured to nearest
government or private hospital. The concerned hospital list would be circulated
to all 108 drivers in a week. All collectors have been notified for the
same. A meeting was organized for the same on Friday in which Mr. Rajendra
Rathore, NHM authorities and management of private hospitals discussed this
matter in detail.
Three big decisions by Rajasthan government –
Five private hospitals in the list -
Five private
hospitals are enlisted for now in this service viz: Sony Manipal, Narayana,
Santokba Durlabhji, Mahatma Gandhi, and Fortis hospitals. The private hospitals
would have to keep the patient until stable and all the treatment would be free
of cost.

mentioned on the ambulance-
All
collectors have been notified for the same. All private hospitals that provide
emergency services would be mentioned on the 108 ambulance. All collectors
will submit this list respectively to the head office in a week. All these
hospitals would be listed on 108 ambulances respectively.
Training for safe escort of the
injured-
Around 50
police officers would be trained each week on safe practices of helping the
injured out of vehicles and escorting them to the ambulance. Highway Dhaba
workers, truck drivers and petrol pump workers would also be trained at head
office.
Action will be taken against private
hospitals if they disagree for treatment-
According to
Neeraj K Pawan, Mission Director, NHM, if any private hospital disagrees to
admit any injured patient then complaint can be registered to the control room.
Action will be taken on the hospital for the same. If any injured does not get
treatment then it will be the responsibility of Collector and NHM authorities.
