Heli-ambulance service in HP

The Himachal Government will introduce free heli-ambulance services to be operated by the Heli-mission Switzerland with the assistance of Lady Willingdon Hospital, Manali, in Kullu district. The decision was taken by the Cabinet at its meeting chaired by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur. The decision has been taken keeping in mind the tough topographical conditions in the state. This will strengthen health transport services and timely airlifting of the patients, particularly those living in remote and tribal regions of the state.
