Amara Hospital Launches Technology-Based Emergency Response System in Tirupati
Amara Hospital in Tirupati has created a new way to respond to medical emergencies.
It uses a mobile app called ATES and a special emergency phone number.
People can use the system when someone has been badly hurt or is facing a serious health problem.
The hospital says quick treatment is especially important during the first hour after an accident.
Hospital officials want the government’s 108 ambulances to work together with ATES.
They believe this could help doctors reach and treat patients faster.
Police and healthcare workers also said technology can help save lives.
The new services were explained to the public at an Open House programme.
Amara Hospital in Tirupati launched the ATES emergency response mobile application.
The initiative also includes the 7699108108 Emergency Hotline for critical medical emergencies.
The system aims to speed assistance for accident victims and patients during the Golden Hour.
Hospital officials proposed linking ATES with the government’s 108 ambulance services through a public-private partnership.
Officials said digital coordination between police and healthcare institutions could improve timely treatment and reduce fatalities.
