Mandya DHO Reaffirms Free Ambulance Services After Girl’s Death
The top health official in Mandya, Dr. Mohan, wants everyone to know that ambulances in the area are free, especially from all the hospitals in the area.
This announcement comes after a young girl died because she couldn't get an ambulance quickly enough after being bitten by a dog.
Her parents tried to take her to the hospital, but were told to find their own way.
The traffic police stopped them, and sadly, the girl passed away.
This made people very angry and question the ambulance service.
The health department now stresses that ambulances must be free and available, and anyone who charges for the service will be punished.
The doctors will tell the parents about the free ambulance facility.
Mandya DHO reaffirms free ambulance services in all taluk hospitals.
This follows a girl's death after a dog bite due to lack of ambulance.
Parents were instructed to arrange their own transport to MIMS.
Public outrage raised questions about emergency transport.
Strict action will be taken against violations of service guidelines.
