Earlier this month, Blinkit announced the introduction of an ambulance service with Basic Life Support (BLS) facilities in India, aiming to deliver "fast and reliable ambulance services" in Indian cities.
The BLS service currently includes five ambulances, equipped with oxygen cylinders and Automated External Defibrillators (AED), stretchers, monitors, suction machines, and medical supplies like emergency medicines and injections. Additionally, each ambulance will have a paramedic, an assistant, and a trained driver to provide primary treatment to the patient.
The service is currently only available in Gurugram and Blinkit aims to expand it to other cities and areas across the country within the next two years. Blinkit emphasised that the ambulance service is not intended to fulfil its financial goals and will be made available to the public at an affordable price.
