What is Medivac and how does it take place?
Medical evacuation or Medivac is a process of transferring a patient from one hospital to another for emergency medical treatment. Such an action is usually taken when the patient is suffering from a serious illness or injury.
Health infrastructure in India
Health infrastructure still remains a major hindrance in the development of the country. According to a report by the United Nations, 75% of the health infrastructure in India including doctors and specialists and other health resources and is concentrated in urban areas where only 27% of India’s population .Medical evacuation is extremely important in a country like India where 60% of population or 700 million people reside in rural areas where the condition of medical facilities is shameful. Considering such a situation, it is imperative that advanced practices are adopted in order to ensure timely delivery of adequate health services across all parts of the country. It is also a known fact that the number of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in India are limited, about 8% of these centers do not have medical staff, 39% with no lab technicians and 18% do not even have a pharmacist.
It is high time that the government takes a cue from such an example of Ratul Puri led Hindustan Powerprojects and pay heed by investing or providing subsidies in such timely methods. Medical Evacuation is a new way forward for India to achieve its goal of ‘Health for All’.
