Blinkit, a quick commerce company, has launched its 10 minutes Blinkit Ambulance Service in select areas of Gurugram. Currently in its testing phase, the first set of fully equipped ambulances are operational in Gurugram from today. Consumers will start seeing the option to call for an ambulance via Blinkit as the service becomes operational in their respective areas.
These ambulances will be stocked with essential life-saving equipment, including oxygen cylinders, AED (automated external defibrillator), stretcher, monitor, suction machine, and essential emergency medicines and injections. They will also be equipped with a scoop stretcher and a wheelchair to safely transport those in need. Each vehicle will be staffed by a paramedic, a duty assistant, and a trained driver.
“This is our first step in solving the problem of providing reliable ambulance service in our cities. Our aim is to carefully scale this service up and expand to all major cities in the next two years.”, said Albinder Dhindsa, Founder & CEO, Blinkit
The aim of the service is to make sure that customers in all major cities will eventually have access to reliable ambulance services reaching their doorstep in less than 10 minutes.
