Sindh government in collaboration with Aman Health Care Services has launched Sindh Rescue and Medical Services (SRMS) - a life-saving ambulance service for the people of Sindh on Tuesday. Sindh Minister for Health Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho performed a ribbon cutting ceremony here at Sindh Secretariat to mark the official launch of Karachi's first ever government backed, free of cost life-saving ambulance service.
It is to be noted that Sindh govt initiated its formal support to Aman Ambulances, which had been operating in Karachi through a fleet of 60 life-saving ambulances, in October 2018. During this period 74,776 life-saving interventions have been made and 11 babies have been delivered inside the ambulances, which now bear the emblem of Sind govt and are branded as Sindh Rescue and Medical Services. The provincial government intends to expand the size of this fleet incrementally to 200 to cater to the twenty million population of this mega-polis.
