Emergency Response Service (ERS) to provide 24-hour medical facilities to patients at their doorstep will soon be launch by the Tripura government under a central scheme, officials said in Agartala on Friday. The health department of the Tripura government will start the ERS under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) by early next year.

The central government has already sanctioned Rs.7 crore for the purpose and the state government has also submitted a detailed project report (DPR) in the health and family welfare ministry accordingly. Bhowmik said: ‘There would be a control room in each district, sub-divisional and state headquarters to operate the scheme. An ambulance would reach the patient’s doorstep at any time, once a call is made to the control room through a toll free telephone number.’ Also Read - Reviewing first year of National Policy for Treatment of Rare Diseases

Under the scheme, ambulances fitted with basic life support system and medicines will be run by a private operator. The coordination will be done through a call centre. It will arrange for a doctor, paramedical staff and a driver for running the vehicle. ‘The treatment will start once the patient boards the ambulance and continue till the patient reaches the nearest hospital,’ the official said. 

The official said that the state government has asked the central health and family welfare ministry to allow the Tripura government to run the scheme, instead of a private operator.
