Name of the project:1-0-8 Emergency Response Services
Applicant: GVK Emergency Management and Research Institute
Organisation Website: www.emri.in
Implementing agency: GVK Emergency Management and Research Institute
About the project: GVK EMRI pioneered the concept of integrated emergency response service under PPP model with Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2005, through a single toll free number 108. Service is totally free to end user, and most
beneficial to those at bottom of the pyramid.
Objective: To serve every citizen of India in case of emergency, with appropriate pre-hospital care, through single toll free number 108.
Target Group: Entire population of India
Strength areas: Integrated emergency response services for any kind of emergency through single toll free number 108. It is a successful programme that runs under Public Private Partnership mode. Its a totally free service. It conducts research and capacity building system in emergency medicine and management. The project has integrated multiple technology including medical, information,communication, fleet etc.
Achievements: So far the emergency system has responded to 2, 03, 13,445 emergencies, 108 intervention has saved 6, 91,808 lives. 211378 deliveries assisted by trained paramedics in amby/scene reducing maternal/infant mortality. 2989842 road traffic accident cases have been attended (till 31st May 2013). This service has the ability to serve in remotest areas through innovative reach by boat ambulance, dolis etc. So far we have trained more than 9000 doctors, 12000 nurses, 20000 EMTs, 23000 first responders.
Five key challenges: Till today, the awareness level about the 1-0-8 service is low. We dont have any law to protect confidentiality of EMS patient care records. The poor medical infrastructure at receiving hospitals is also a great challenge
