Thousands of patients are flying down to Hyderabad to be treated due to the unprecedented health crisis posed due to Coronavirus. There is a shortage of hospital beds across India.
One day in a meeting, Mr Somesh Kumar, IAS, Telangana chief secretary, announced that the state had the necessary beds and oxygen to provide quality treatment for Coronavirus patients. According to authorities and private operators, hundreds of critical Covid-19 patients have been airlifted so far this month, and dozens more are scheduled to be airlifted.
ICATT Air Ambulance even brought patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support to Hyderabad, the last resort life-saving procedure.
“Our air ambulance service flies patients all over the country to Hyderabad, a top destination right now,” says Dr Shalini Nalwad & Dr Rahul Singh Sardar, founder and director of ICATT Air Ambulance. We have even transferred patients to other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic from various places like Bangalore and Delhi.
ICATT Air Ambulance is dealing with more medical transfers in Hyderabad, say the experts. There are some 50 large and mid-sized hospitals located in the city providing top-notch medical care.
We provide patient transfers at a very affordable cost so that everyone can avail these quick transfers when required. We are trying to provide an air ambulance for transfer within 24 hr of your call.
We take care of mostly all necessary clearances from the government & airport authorities. We try our best to get an assurance from the hospital regarding the bed, treatment and many more. In recent months, there has been an increase in Air Ambulance service.
While some patients are brought in helicopters with oxygen support, and some on ventilators too. But the highly critical patients are transferred in chartered flights with ECMO support. “We have done more than 135 ECMO initiations and transfers over the past twelve months. A record number of transfers in the world has been transferred in this short time by ICATT Air Ambulance Service,” says Dr Rahul Singh Sardar, co-founder & director of ICATT.” We have done 39 air transfers in one month and 60% of them are to Hyderabad”.
ICATT Air Ambulance services are available in some rural areas and almost all major cities, primarily out in Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
Testimonial of a patient regarding his transfer to Hyderabad via ICATT
“My cousin was in a very critical condition, and after trying many treatment options in a hospital in Jamshedpur, the doctor there said the situation was hopeless.
We started getting in touch with air ambulance services, but many of them said it would take at least two days to initiate the transfer. But the ICATT Air Ambulance team said that they would initiate air transfer within 24 hrs and helped us contact a hospital in Hyderabad. After taking all necessary clearances and permissions, the transfer was scheduled successfully. The transfer has been done the very next day,” said a relative of the patient receiving treatment in Hyderabad.
Many patients are being transferred to Hyderabad for high-quality medicare from the cities like Mumbai, Rajkot, Raipur, Patna, Delhi, Bangalore, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Nagpur.
