At a meeting of the health department, the minister asked officials to complete all the requirements for launching the service, which will be available at all district headquarters.

The aim of the service was to provide timely health care during emergencies like accidents, with the focus on maternal and child health, he said.

The minister said around 800 ambulances across the state have been fitted with GPS so as to track their movements.

A control room for availing the ambulance service has been set up in each district hospital of the state, officials said. (Read: Forget three, J & K docs to serve 10 years’ rural service)
