There is a shortage of ambulances in Tamil Nadu due to the increasing number of corona patients. There was a problem getting 108 ambulances. Complaints have been raised that private ambulances that take advantage of such an environment charge high fees. Following this, the Tamil Nadu government yesterday directed to fix the fee to be charged by private ambulances.
At the same time, the government took steps to introduce alternative systems as many patients died without the availability of ambulances. In this regard, 250 feet of taxis were converted into ambulances in Chennai. The service was started by Chennai Corporation. Urban Development Minister KN Nehru. Initially, only 50 ambulances were operating.
Ambulances are used to transport victims and isolated people to treatment centers. Pedestrian taxi ambulances are used not only to transport patients but also to unemployed Caltaxi owners, said Swaminathan, health inspector, Chennai Corporation.
