Emergency medical response in Hyderabad and Telangana is set to receive a boost with the deployment of two advanced life-support smart ambulances through a partnership between Apollo Hospitals, Billion Hearts Beating Foundation (BHB) and Marsh India. The ambulances were formally launched at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, on Friday. The initiative is supported under Marsh India’s CSR program, with BHB as the implementing partner and Apollo Hospitals providing clinical and emergency-care expertise.

Tejesvi Rao Veerepalli, CEO, Apollo Hospitals Telugu States, said the initiative would strengthen the emergency-care chain both inside and outside hospitals. Dr K. Subba Reddy, Head of Critical Care, said the advanced ambulances would help medical teams reach patients during the crucial first minutes of an emergency.

Sanjay Kedia, President and CEO, Marsh India, said the initiative would improve access to faster and more effective emergency support.
