Ziqitza Health Care Limited (ZHL) has been one of the leading players in India’s Emergency Medical Services industry since 2005. It was set up by a group of young professionals, who recognised the need for an organised and networked ambulance service system in India, to respond effectively to all kinds of medical emergencies. Whether it’s an accident or a major ailment, Ziqitza recognises that the first few minutes are critical in saving a life. Recognising this need, and realising the gap that existed in the Indian market, the founders began the journey to create the best emergency response service in India, at par with the capabilities and operations of 911 in the United States of America, and 999 in the United Kingdom. ZHL regularly partners with state governments and the National Health Mission (NHM), to operate the 108 helpline for medical emergency services for the general public. Over the span of 14 years, the company has grown exponentially, from being a start-up with 10 ambulances, to become a well- established corporate entity with a fleet of 3300 ambulances, and almost 10,000 employees across the country.

Working to provide emergency services is a passion-driven career path, and needs a team of highly motivated and skilled professionals. Understanding this need in a country as vast as India, and realising the lack of training institutes and centres, ZHL set out to remedy the situation at hand. They have been extremely active on this front, by setting up their First Responder Programme and training over 3,33, 204 personnel till date. The healthcare enterprise’s range of services can broadly be categorised into three segments – Public Private Partnership (PPP), Healthcare Solutions to Corporate and Patient Transfer Ambulance Service.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP:

ZHL has partnered with various state governments to provide emergency services through helpline numbers, ambulance services and MMU’s. The 108 helpline number connects people to the emergency ambulance service that is equipped to provide basic life support and advanced life support, along with oxygen cylinders and electrocardiography (ECG) machine along with basic first aid.

The 108 Ambulance Service has made primary healthcare accessible to the most interior part of the state and has enabled in increased institutional deliveries and reduced MMR & IMR. The other helpline numbers 104 that connect users to the service. The 104 helpline number is set up in collaboration with the National Health Mission (NHM) in the state of Odisha. The helpline is intended to provide medical assistance for several minor physiological illnesses, ailments, and mental distresses, along with directory information, details on health schemes, a grievance redressal mechanism, and many more. MMUs are Mobile Medical Units that have helped mobilise healthcare to conduct screenings, basic diagnosis and in some instances provide complex medical treatments closer to people’s homes. Inspite of the difficult terrain, low connectivity, or institutional barriers, medical care can be made available to people across socio-economic groups, with minimum expenditure and relatively lesser operations and management responsibilities, as compared to those required by fully functional hospitals.
