Staff Reporter

Shillong, Nov 5: Medulance, a prominent emergency services provider, is poised to revolutionize the emergency response landscape in the northeastern state of Meghalaya. The leading emergency services platform is now committed to equipping the hilly state with 5G smart-connected ambulances, a first-of-its-kind and game-changer approach in taking emergency services to another level in the region. With its innovative platform, Medulance aims to reduce response and real-time patient monitoring while being shifted to hospitals in the challenging landscape of the state, which often witnesses a lot of rains and landslides. 

Having diligently served the region for the past three years, collaborating with Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and their employees, Medulance has cultivated a unique bond with the people of Meghalaya. Their commitment to delivering life-saving assistance in this challenging terrain is unwavering, and they are eager to expand their services throughout the entire state. Having their local partner as EDNA Enterprise, the latter has helped the government in crisis after GVK EMRI left and managed the maintenance and operations of ambulances, and is still continuing to do so. 

Meghalaya, with its rugged terrain and sometimes remote locations, presents unique challenges for emergency responders. It is not uncommon for the nearest hospital to be hours away in certain areas. Recognizing the pressing need for a comprehensive emergency management system in the state, Medulance has boldly bid for the tender of “108” and aims to bring a new era of emergency services to Meghalaya.

In their endeavor to serve the wonderful people of Meghalaya, the company has submitted a meticulously planned proposal to the government.

This proposal outlines their strategy for refueling and vehicle repair, as well as their vision for a comprehensive tech-enabled emergency response infrastructure that brings emergency assistance to the fingertips of every individual.

“Medulance’s goal is to deploy a fleet of 5G smart connected ambulances, upgrading GPS-enabled ambulances, to the entire state, as soon as possible. This initiative will bring cutting-edge technology to the forefront of emergency response and improve the chances of saving lives in the challenging landscape of Meghalaya. Right now, we envision making Meghalaya the first state to have 5G smart emergency response,” says Pranav Bajaj, Co-Founder, Medulance Healthcare.

Extensive planning has gone into Risk and Crisis Management, Call Flow of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), absorbing existing manpower, and ensuring uninterrupted operations in the state. This includes the identification and preparation of backup locations, generators, staffing, and network providers to ensure reliable and consistent service.

At its core, Medulance is determined to build the right emergency infrastructure for Meghalaya based on its extensive experience, state-of-the-art technological innovations, and unwavering commitment to saving lives. They aspire to see the selection of the right bidder who can provide the emergency services that the people of Meghalaya truly deserve.

“Medulance is committed to integrating its state-of-the-art technology with the current ambulance fleet and is prepared to add more ambulances to ensure comprehensive coverage, leaving no area or individual behind. In pursuit of this goal, real-time patient data will be shared with the hospital before the ambulance arrives, and real-time patient monitoring by doctors at the command center will be implemented to guarantee the highest quality emergency response,” says Ravjot Singh Arora, Co-Founder, Medulance Healthcare.

Medulance invites the support and collaboration of the community, stakeholders, and government agencies as they embark on this mission to transform and elevate emergency services in Meghalaya. Together, they aim to create a safer and more secure environment for all the residents of this beautiful state.

The shark tank-funded company’s commitment extends beyond individuals, encompassing individuals from all walks of life. To further their mission, they have extended their services to support the government of Delhi, managing their CATS 102 services for the past four years, including the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Medulance has an in-house trainer with 35 years of experience in ALS and BLS, first aid for refreshing and upgrading existing manpower. 

In their role of service to the government of Delhi, Medulance has deployed a comprehensive array of resources, including proprietary software, stakeholder applications, cloud-based support, on-site technical assistance, civil infrastructure, and hardware and software solutions, establishing a fully operational environment for emergency care, serving over four crore people, including dignitaries. With an aim to minimize medical emergencies, Medulance responds to them promptly, if and when they arise, in a manner that is quick, professional, and in accordance with international standards. 

Medulance has also extended its services to public sector undertakings (PSUs) like NTPC, COAL India, and even the Odisha Jail, offering tailor-made comprehensive emergency care plans, including Stationed Ambulance services, Medical Centers, Medical Professionals, and Medical Care. The company also played a significant role in managing the G20 Summit with the Government recently, with respect to offering emergency services to G20 delegates.

“NPP is a party with integrity”- East Shillong legislator Ampareen Lyngdoh

Shillong | March 2, 2023

NPP leader and East Shillong legislator Ampareen Lyngdoh has said the NPP is a party with integrity.

 After being re-elected, Lyngdoh said, “I owe this to the people of East Shillong and I will assure everyone that I will work very hard and I will try my best to make sure that I do justice to this win.”

 With the NPP emerging as the single largest party, Lyngdoh said, “I am happy that I could also contribute one more seat to the NPP this election.”

 She asserted, “We now have to work very hard to turn around the perception of the otherwise NPP that has been working hard. So we will have to make sure that we perform so that the people of the state of Meghalaya will know that the NPP is a very viable option in politics in the 21st century.”

 The East Shillong legislator said as per readings, Conrad K Sangma has done so well in Garo Hills and it will be but correct that he should be one of the contenders for the chief minister’s seat.

 “But politics is full of surprises one cannot predict even though I am a member of the legislative assembly recently now just elected but anything and everything is possible in politics,” he said.

 On-demand for a chief minister from Khasi and Jaintia Hills region, Lyngdoh said, “Who doesn’t have that ambition on behalf of the people of the state of Meghalaya but you need the numbers to make sure that your man is put in that chair. With the fragmented mandate of the Khasi-Jaintia Hills region, that (CM from the Khasi region) is likely a very farfetched dream because we have just shown our divisions no one party in the Khasi Hills region would be able to stake claim to that chief ministerial seat.”

 On the allegations of corruption made by political opponents against the NPP, Lyngdoh said, “I want to tell the people that the NPP is a party with integrity. NPP has credibility. The confusion that was created by our opponents trying to score brownies for themselves so the results have clearly indicated that a large section of the people of the state of Meghalaya have reposed their faith in a larger number to the NPP in the state of Meghalaya. Now we just have to reverse this created image and we have to work hard to ensure that we deliver to the best possible extent good governance, fair governance and clean governance to the people of the state of Meghalaya.”
