Churachandpur, April 19 2022:
Churachandpur district DC Pawan Yadav on Tuesday handed over an ambulance to Henglep PHC to cater to the need of emergencies.
The ambulance will be stationed at Henglep headquarters from Wednesday and made available 24x7 for patients who need transportation or for any untoward incident or accident that may happen in Henglep sub-division.
People settling in the interior areas of Henglep have long been facing immense hardships due to bad roads and poor health infrastructure.
Villagers are forced to carry patients on makeshift bamboo stretchers, walking around 8-10 hours to reach the nearest hospital.
But given the painstaking nature of "bamboolance", only critically ill patients are carried to hospital.
