BENGALURU: Credihealth, India’s only holistic online-medical assistance company has now activated emergency-care at your doorstep- by helping users gain quick access to an ambulance during the wee hours. Leading hospitals in the Delhi/NCR region have partnered with Credihealth to be a part of this endeavour-of providing faster access to life-saving medical treatment.

While you ‘ask-for’ medical assistance, an ambulance nearest to your home will be coordinated- through a more efficient backend system. Credihealth is the onlytech-platform, which will ensure full-proof emergency transfers to hospitalsduring the night (for criticalmedical examinations like stroke, road accidents, cardiac arrest etc). In the pilot phase of its launch, this exclusive technology-enabled service can be accessed by people residing in the satellite town of Gurugram.

This new synergy among the nearly(1800 ambulances) plying in the Delhi/NCR region, enabled by your trusted tech-partner Credihealth- will go an extra-mile in helping the patients and, especially the family members. This is the time when moments of anxiety and panic take the better of you. Credihealth service team will act like a virtual ‘caretaker’ during this need of the hour. It will, on your behalf, coordinate with the delivery provider so that that the service is ensured on your time.

According to Credihealth research, about 350-400 admissions take place at night in Delhi NCR, out of which almost 65 percent of cases mark serious medical situations such as trauma, stroke, and potential heart attacks. These are clinically life-threatening health conditions, which require immediate medical attention. It is absolutely critical to approach a doctor/specialist in your vicinity, so that adequate care can be provided in time. Failing which, there can be dire medical consequences for the patient, often resulting in death-all due to lack of proper treatment.

Founder and Managing Director Credihealth, RaviVirmani added to the point,“This new feature only meets our basic objective of facilitating the benefits of online healthcare service for the common man. During the night, regular doctors are not accessible, and it is only the emergency unit operating at that time. One may experience a situation of no-contact at the hospital. Some medical conditions, however require immediate action. So, any sort of delay adds to situation becoming more perplexed. This is where our team steps in.”

Mr. Virmani added that, “Family members due to their anxiety and fear for loved ones sufferwith breathlessness, profuse sweating, shaking, etc.When help does not reach you in time,the situation only becomes exaggerated during those moments of wait. It is very important to assure and ensure the ambulance reaches within time, so that a patient’s life can be saved. There is no other option like waiting for 3-6 hours for morning. The whole concerted effort ofCredihealth and its partners is to take the complete healthcare delivery eco-system to the next level of public access.”

Credihealth services to the patient will be free of cost. In other words, there is no extra cost attached to booking an ambulance using the Credihealth m-app. Only normal ambulance charges, which are the direct transaction cost between the provider and the patient, will continue to apply.

Credihealth officially appeals to institutes, corporates, NGOs, schools & hospitals to help further this cause by:

• Creating awareness about the importance of quick and easy accessibility to ambulance services

• Ensuring important telephone numbers are shared on prominent notice boards

• Downloading the credihealth app for a quicker access to ambulance services

• Empanelment of Hospital Ambulance services on the Credihealth Mobile App
