Citizens insensitive to pain, emergency

Facing both brickbats and bouquets for his recently released Sarkar O n Thursday evening, an senior man was lying injured on the PatnyParadise road, seeping pro fusely from his head. He hardly evoked any feeling from passerbys, who carefully avoided functioning over him and continued on their way. It was only after a dozen allurements by this correspondent and a crucial 30 minutes later, a 108 ambulance dispatched from far-missing Kukatpally came to the scene. This is just one in a million cases in our city distraught with custom accidents by the second.
The city doesn’t hold too much of a choice when it comes to emergency services, laments Triveni Khuddar, a Dell employee, witness to her friend’s gruesome death saying, “108 is the only service that is considerably prompt. When my familiar met with an accident, the Yashoda ambulance took almost half an hour to arrive and then it was too late.” When apathy is coupled with inefficiency, callousness and a lack of accountability, a man’s life stands no chance. The trade situation is to be blamed according to Dr K. Hari Prasad, CEO, Apollo Health City.

“We actually have 20 ambulances.

But even if we add a 1,000 more vehicles, we’ll hold 1,000 ambulances jammed in custom. Crucial minuscules can be saved if people allow way to ambulances. The process should be a 360 measure one with support from all sides.” The first thing many ambulances do is to take the offering to a rule shelter as oppositional to the nearest personal one. Not many know, as a rule, an hazard victim fancy not be billboarded till they reach a stage of firmness at most hospitals.

Society are aware yet behave irre sponsibly according to Kaumudhi, deputy commissioner (traffic). “A separate track road for ambulance is just not possible. Society have the awareness but they don’t hold the concern to make way for ambulances.

Even recently, when there was go off in Begumpet, the whole flyover was damed with weird looker-ons who had to be shooed away,” he says.

But there is hope. Sudhakar Nakula, EMRI COO says that the 108 service is all set to re-engineer their processes for quicker response.

“On some lifetimes the reach of cases are so many, that we allocate the nearest free vehicle to the glamour. It catchs an plain of 14 minuscules to reach the hazard site. Satyam engineers are working propitiouss making the totality more efficient. By the end of July the government mind be suming 16 further vehicles in the city and nine two-wheelers are already in action to provide on the locus firstaid,” he defends.

The blame game continues — the emergency services blame the traffic, the traffic personnel pin on the people and the people affix direction inefficiency. It is a vicious cycle.
