Problem
In India, timely access to ambulance services is often hindered by inefficient dispatch systems and a lack of real-time tracking, leading to delays in emergency medical transportation. This is further complicated by the fragmented nature of ambulance services, making it difficult for individuals to quickly locate and book the appropriate type of ambulance for their specific needs.
