Infant Survives Longest Ambulance Transfer in India
A very sick, premature baby needed to be moved from Surat to Hyderabad for better medical care.
Because an air ambulance wasn't suitable, the baby traveled over 1,200 kilometers in a special ambulance.
Doctors and nurses went with the baby, giving it medicine and keeping a close watch.
The ambulance team faced challenges, but they helped the baby stay stable throughout the journey.
Once at the hospital, the baby was in stable condition.
The safe transfer was made possible due to teamwork between hospitals, doctors, and the RED Health team.
A 41-day-old infant underwent a high-risk 24-hour ground transfer.
The baby weighed less than 1.5 kg and had multiple health issues.
The journey spanned over 1,200 kilometers, recognized as one of the longest neonatal ambulance transports in India.
A fully equipped neonatal ambulance provided constant medical support.
The baby arrived at KIMS Cuddles Hospital in stable condition.
