Karnataka to Bring 108 Ambulance Service Under Health Dept

The Karnataka government has decided to take control of the 108 ambulance service, which was previously run by private companies.

This means the health department will now be in charge.

The goal is to make emergency healthcare better in the state.

A central control center will be set up to manage the ambulances, and each district will have its own control center.

The government plans to integrate over 1,000 additional state-owned ambulances under the unified 108 ambulance command center.

This change is expected to make the service more efficient and save the state money.
