The initiative, spearheaded by Blinkit, allows residents to book a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance through the Blinkit app as the service gradually expands to other cities.

The ambulances come equipped with oxygen cylinders, Automated External Defibrillators (AED), stretchers, monitors, suction machines, and essential emergency medicines.

Each ambulance is manned by a trained paramedic, an assistant, and a driver to ensure prompt, high-quality care during emergencies. Prioritising community welfare over profit, the service is designed to be accessible and aims to address the critical gap in emergency medical care for the long term.

The organisation plans a careful expansion to other major cities over the next two years, with the vision of transforming emergency medical response nationwide.

This innovative service marks a significant step toward improving healthcare infrastructure in India, setting a benchmark for timely and affordable emergency response.
