The "Sanjeevani" heli ambulance service, launched by the Prime Minister and operated by AIIMS Rishikesh, is India’s first aerial ambulance aimed at enhancing emergency medical response. Inaugurated on Dhanvantari Jayanti, it enables rapid access to medical care for people in Uttarakhand's remote areas, significantly improving survival rates in critical situations like heart attacks and accidents. This initiative represents a vital step in extending lifesaving support to regions with limited ground-based healthcare facilities, reflecting the government’s focus on accessible healthcare innovations.
