The Emergency Medical Response services under 108, operated by the Andhra Pradesh government in association with Bhavya Health Care, delivered emergency services to 7.78 lakh cases including 1.13 lakh road accident cases in the last 12 months.After assuming power two years ago, the State government overhauled the 108 Ambulance Emergency Services, turning it into an ultra-efficient lifeline for millions. Operating under the core philosophy that “every second counts when saving a life,” the State’s emergency network has been modernised to meet international trauma care standards.Partnering with Bhavya Health Care, the government has integrated advanced GPS tracking, real-time traffic routing, and digitised patient logs into the ambulances to ensure reaching those in need within the critical medical window known as the “Golden Hour.”From June 2025 to May 2026, this rejuvenated framework successfully responded to 7,78,799 emergency calls, acting as a beacon of hope for families across both rural and urban Andhra Pradesh.During this year-long operational cycle, 108 emergency response teams stabilised 1,13,764 road accident victims right at the site of trauma. Furthermore, the service solidified its role as a cornerstone of rural healthcare by safely transporting 1,05,786 pregnant women to advanced maternal care facilities, significantly contributing to the drop in maternal and infant mortality rates.Among the emergencies, road traffic accidents topped the list with 1,13,764 cases requiring rapid trauma stabilisation, closely followed by 1,05,786 pregnancy and maternity emergencies that required safe delivery monitoring and prenatal transport. By providing critical support for respiratory distress, the first responders managed a massive 97,118 cases, deploying immediate oxygen administration and advanced airway management.In trauma and sudden medical events, the crew successfully stabilised 49,342 non-vehicular injuries using hemorrhage control, while also managing 45,951 cardiac emergencies and 40,553 cases of unconsciousness through advanced tracking and resuscitation protocols.Ambulances are equipped with advanced life support systems (ALS), automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and specialised communication setups. Highly trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) can transmit vital patient data directly to receiving hospital ERs while in transit.Published on June 7, 2026
