On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the virtual stage to inaugurate the nation’s first government helicopter ambulance service at AIIMS Rishikesh. This groundbreaking heli-ambulance service was unveiled during a grand ceremony at the All India Institute of Ayurveda in Delhi, where the PM also kicked off a series of health projects totaling a whopping Rs 12,850 crore.

The PM didn’t stop there – he also launched drone services at 11 top-tier healthcare institutions across the country, including AIIMS Rishikesh.

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, who joined the event virtually, hailed the heli-ambulance as a crucial lifeline in emergencies, especially in remote areas with limited road access.
