Assam: Patients in remote places in Assam who cannot be reached with 108 Mrityunjoy ambulances will now be transported to the nearest ambulance point on a dola, or palanquin. A hundred such dolas have been attached to Mrityunjoy ambulances by the state government under the National Rural Health Mission. Health Minister Himant Biswa Sarma says this makes Assam the first state to have inducted dolas to transport patients. |
