Anecdote from SAHAMATI Annual Report 2009
SAHAMATI Ambulance Service
Introduction
Transportation plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely medical treatment. Unfortunately, in the past, there have been recurring cases of death due to the unavailability of proper transportation, preventing sick individuals from accessing medical care when urgently needed.
Initiative by SAHAMATI
Recognizing this critical gap, SAHAMATI initiated an ambulance service in 2003. This 24-hour service ensures the pickup and drop-off of patients from and to any accessible part of the state.
Special Benefits
SAHAMATI extends additional support to specific groups and members:
- Discount for Deprived Groups: Members of marginalized communities such as Bote, Majhi, Musher, and Dalit are eligible for a 20% discount on the service charge.
- Discount for Members and Staff: Members, staff of SAHAMATI, SAHAJ, and their families benefit from a 10% discount on ambulance services.
In 2009, out of the total beneficiaries, 135 people received the special discount service, highlighting SAHAMATI’s commitment to inclusivity and support for underprivileged groups.
