Satya Kumar Yadav Flags Off 102 Thalli Bidda Express Ambulances
Some important people in the government want to make sure that mothers and their babies are safe.
A minister named Satya Kumar Yadav started a new service in a town called Narasaraopeta.
This service uses special cars called ambulances.
The ambulances are named 'Thalli Bidda Express,' which means mother and child.
When a woman is going to have a baby, these ambulances can take her to the government hospital.
After the baby is born, the ambulance brings the mother and the new baby back home.
The ambulances are very modern and comfortable.
They have air-conditioning, airbags, GPS tracking and a special SOS button for emergencies.
The government also wants to hire women as drivers for these ambulances.
More than 100 of these ambulances are starting now, and hundreds more are coming soon.
Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav flagged off 102 'Thalli Bidda Express' ambulance services at the Narasaraopeta area hospital in Palnadu district.
The ambulances will transport pregnant women to government hospitals for delivery and bring both mother and infant back home afterward.
The government plans to recruit women as drivers for the 102 ambulance services as part of its commitment to empower women.
A total of 500 new 102 ambulances will be deployed in the state, with 300 in the first phase and 200 within the next two months.
Each vehicle will have an air-conditioner, six airbags, foot-rest, GPS tracking and an SOS button, while the 104 ambulance will offer medical tests and treatment at village level.
