Prakash Gaikwad - (Deputy Commissioner of Police - Mira-Bhayandar-Vasai-Virar Police), said," In the face of escalating road accidents, our community's safety demands urgent action. The collaborative effort between IIFL Foundation, Yashlok Welfare Foundation, and Bhaktivedanta Hospital to launch a free ambulance service is a significant step towards ensuring immediate medical aid for accident victims. With these fully equipped ambulances strategically positioned, we aim to minimize response time and maximize the chances of saving lives. This initiative reflects our collective commitment to building a safer and more compassionate society."
It is of utmost concern that road accidents often result in critical situations where immediate medical attention can mean the difference between life and death. Recognizing this pressing need, the IIFL Foundation, as part of its CSR activities has generously donated fully equipped high-impact ambulances to provide free-of-cost and more importantly, timely emergency and trauma care services. These multi-bed ambulances are fully equipped to provide immediate medical assistance to accident victims and will operate as vital lifelines for those caught in road accidents, offering timely aid and potentially saving lives. With the addition of this ambulance, the Traffic Police can now promptly send these ambulances to the accident site, so that victims receive medical attention as quickly as possible.
While the project is sponsored fully by IIFL, it has been expertly implemented by the Yashlok Welfare Foundation in collaboration with Bhaktivedanta Hospital. Yashlok Welfare Foundation has the reputation of managing multiple similar emergency fast response systems with high impact ambulances for highway road-accident victims. The free ambulance service will be attended and serviced by Bhaktivedanta Hospital through its trained medical staff, which will ensure top-notch medical care during critical moments.
Alok Adhikari, Founder of Yashlok Welfare Foundation, said, "This initiative will definitely be a strong move towards achieving road safety especially for the road accident victims. We are extremely happy and grateful for the help that IIFL Foundation has extended and happy to find Bhaktivedanta Hospital by our side in this noble mission"
Dr Ajay Sankhe (Director and CEO) and Dr K.Venkataramanan- PhD, (Director- Share your Care), from Bhaktivedanta Hospital and Research Institute thanked IIFL Foundation and Yashlok Welfare Foundation and said the hospital will use the ambulance to save precious lives.
The multi casualty high impact ambulance, equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities and manned by trained personnel, will be stationed at Bhaktivedanta Hospital to ensure prompt response to emergency calls. This noble initiative underscores the commitment of both the IIFL Foundation and Yashlok Welfare Foundation to contribute meaningfully to society and uphold the values of compassion and empathy.
