A groundbreaking initiative, the water ambulance, was launched today to address the long-standing healthcare challenge faced by residents of Baba, Bhit, and Shams Pir islands off the coast of Karachi. The absence of a hospital on these islands had posed significant difficulties, particularly for pregnant women in need of urgent medical attention.
An NGO has introduced a water ambulance to provide much-needed relief and improve access to healthcare services for island residents.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, an NGO involved in the project expressed their commitment to addressing the struggles faced by the island’s inhabitants. They highlighted the arduous journeys pregnant women had to endure to reach the mainland for emergency medical care. The water ambulance initiative aims to alleviate these challenges and ensure that no one is left without proper medical attention.
The water ambulance operates 24 hours a day and can be reached via mobile phones, ensuring round-the-clock accessibility for patients in need. The ambulance is staffed with medical personnel and equipped with the necessary medical equipment to provide immediate care to individuals requiring medical attention.
The service goes beyond transportation, as the water ambulance also offers free bed facilities, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care throughout their journey to the mainland hospitals.
This collaborative effort is a significant step forward in bridging the healthcare gap for the island residents, ensuring that timely medical transportation is available to meet their needs.
