In the recent past, with the help of National Health Mission (NHM), the 108 ambulance services have been initiated to enhance the efficacy of emergency medical services in India. Despite these provisions, multiple myths have arisen about ambulances. Read on to know more:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Ambulances are only a means of transport:\u00a0<\/b>Before the 1990s, hammocks or other vehicles were used to fulfill the need for emergency medical services. Today, however, India has installed dedicated ambulance services in order to cut-short preventable deaths by providing quick and quality emergency medical services, with trained medical staff and enough equipment on board to stabilise the medical condition of the patient.<\/li>\n<li><b>Ambulances are always affiliated with hospitals: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indian government has partnered with private organisations such as <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yourstory.com\/2019\/06\/emergency-healthcare-service-ambulance-response-ziqitza-mumbai\" class=\"broken_link\">Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to increase competency in emergency medical facilities. 108 and 102 are toll-free numbers due to which emergency medical services can be accessed at any time of the day or night.
