With the commitment to serve people of Uttar Pradesh in their hour of need and to provide continuum of care while transferring patients from lower facility hospital to higher facility hospital, Ziqitza Healthcare Limited will begin operating 250 ALS ambulances in the state from August 2021. The company has received the contract to operate this service in the state and is fully geared to start operations with its qualified and skilled team.

On the occasion of the launch of ALS ambulance service in Uttar Pradesh, Mr. Amitabh Jaipuria, MD & CEO of Ziqitza Healthcare Limited said, “It is indeed a great opportunity for us. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the state government and National Health Mission (NHM) for providing us with this opportunity to serve the people of Uttar Pradesh. ZHL is committed to providing world class facilities to all its beneficiaries and being there for the people in their hour of need.”

The official handover for the ALS ambulance service from the old service provider to Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd (ZHL) was done on 17th August 2021, in the presence of ZHL’s Project Head (Uttar Pradesh) Mr.Deepak Kharbanda, in presence of NHM & other Government officials.

All the ALS ambulances, which will be operated in the state, are equipped with lifesaving equipment such as ventilator, defibrillator, oxygen support and other life-saving equipment and emergency medicines. These ALS ambulances are required to provide continuum of care to the patients being transferred from one hospital to another and hence require trained EMTs. These ALS ambulances will be managed by skilled and experienced team of EMTs and ambulance pilots. The recruitment process have been conducted as per set standards & training have been provided to all new recruits. Also preference have been given to existing EMT’s & drivers those who fulfil the set standards & training procedures. Similar thoughts were voiced by Ziqitza Rajasthan.

Doctors whose patients require the ALS ambulance service can call the toll free number and issue a referral slip or memo after which the ambulance will be dispatched to transfer the patient. The helpline number at which this service will be made available is 0522-2466510. We are all set and ready to serve the people of Uttar Pradesh for the next five years.”
