In recent times, worldwide, there has been an increase in patients who are travelling long distances by air for medical needs. Air ambulances can save time when carrying critically ill patients over long distances. They have become indispensable not only worldwide but in heavily populated countries like India; they are especially needed.
Around 70% of the Indian population do not have access to the quality health care they require. Moreover, when people are critically ill, it becomes challenging to reach out to hospitals with all facilities located in cities that are miles away from them. As a result, air ambulance services are highly needed in India.
In addition to saving time, the medical team on the air ambulance ensures that the patient’s health does not worsen during the transfer. ICATT has a highly trained and certified flying medical team that can handle extremely critical cases.
ICATT air ambulance is equipped with advanced medical equipment to ensure that the transfer is carried out smoothly and efficiently. ICATT arranges the transfer promptly after receiving a call from a customer. ICATT is responsible for coordinating and executing the transfer of patients from bed to bed.
