There has been a big demand for such support as the middle & lower income families are finding it difficult to reach big hospitals.

 

Mr. Padam Dugar, President, CREDAI Chennai says, "As there are many ambulances lining up, so as soon as the ambulance arrives the patient can be alighted at this facility and the ambulance will become free.

The patient will be attended immediately with oxygen support and if required will be shifted to the main hospital building. So in such a situation the ambulance will become free and the patient will be attended at this Covid Lifeline Support."
