High Fatalities on NH-44 Due to Golden Hour Delays

High Fatalities on NH-44 Due to Golden Hour Delays

The Hyderabad-Nizamabad stretch of National Highway-44 has seen many serious accidents.

Even though the number of crashes has gone down, many people are still dying because they don't get the right medical help quickly enough.

The first hour after an accident, called the 'golden hour,' is very important.

If people don't get proper care during this time, they might die even if their injuries could have been treated.

Many small health centers along the highway don't have the right tools or trained staff to help seriously injured people.

This means they have to be moved to bigger hospitals without being stabilized, which can be dangerous.

Recently, one health center in Nizamabad district was upgraded with better equipment to help people right after an accident.

Doctors say that if people get the right care quickly, many lives could be saved.
