In a major move aimed at elevating critical emergency care in Hyderabad, RED.Health, Asia’s only JCI-accredited emergency medical response platform and the largest in India, has announced a strategic partnership with Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute. This partnership is set to bring cutting-edge emergency services to the city, revolutionizing how medical emergencies are managed, particularly for cancer patients.
The collaboration was officially launched with a flag-off ceremony on September 26, 2024, attended by prominent figures including Dr. K. Krishnaiah, CEO of Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital, and Sunil Tandon, COO of the hospital, alongside Prabhdeep Singh, Founder and CEO of RED.Health. Together, they unveiled a fleet of advanced ambulances equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, dedicated to providing critical care from the moment they reach a patient.
Addressing India’s Growing Cancer Burden
As India grapples with an alarming increase in cancer cases, the demand for rapid and efficient emergency response has never been more urgent. In 2019 alone, India recorded approximately 12 lakh new cancer cases and 9.3 lakh deaths, making it the second-largest contributor to cancer cases in Asia. This rising cancer burden necessitates immediate medical attention during emergencies, and the partnership between RED.Health and Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital is a direct response to this growing challenge.
RED.Health, known for its prompt and efficient emergency services, will now deploy a specialized fleet of ambulances in strategic locations across Hyderabad. These ambulances will be outfitted with advanced medical devices designed for real-time monitoring and immediate intervention. Staffed by highly trained paramedics, the ambulances will deliver critical care from the moment they reach the patient, significantly increasing the chances of survival during transit.
Cutting-Edge Emergency Response
The fleet of ambulances deployed through the partnership between RED.Health and Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital represents a significant enhancement in Hyderabad’s emergency response infrastructure. These Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances are equipped with the latest medical technology to provide immediate, life-saving interventions before the patient reaches the hospital. Whether it’s cancer-related emergencies or other critical medical situations, these ambulances are designed to stabilize patients, offering a critical time advantage during the golden hour of emergency care.
Prabhdeep Singh, Founder and CEO of RED.Health, emphasized the importance of quick response during emergencies, stating, “In emergencies, every second counts. This partnership ensures that Hyderabad’s residents have access to the best possible care during critical times. Our ALS ambulances, combined with the expertise of Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital, will ensure that patients are supported from the moment help is requested until they are safely in the hands of hospital staff.”
Transforming Emergency Cancer Care
Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute, a renowned facility for cancer treatment, recognizes the importance of timely medical intervention. Through this collaboration with RED.Health, the hospital is extending its reach beyond its physical premises, ensuring patients receive expert care right from the onset of an emergency.
Dr. Kurapati Krishnaiah, CEO of Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital, remarked, “Our partnership with RED.Health marks a crucial step in providing timely care to patients who need emergency support. These ALS ambulances now allow us to extend our care beyond the hospital, ensuring patients receive life-saving attention right from the moment a medical crisis occurs.”
Ongoing Training and Knowledge Sharing
Beyond the deployment of ambulances, the partnership will also focus on continuous learning and skill development. RED.Health’s emergency response teams and the hospital’s oncology staff will engage in ongoing training programs to ensure that both teams remain at the forefront of emergency cancer care. This collaborative approach will not only enhance the skills of paramedics and medical professionals but will also ensure seamless coordination during critical emergencies.
The Future of Emergency Care in Hyderabad
The partnership between RED.Health and Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital is set to make a significant impact on the emergency medical landscape in Hyderabad. With the growing cancer burden in India, the need for rapid, efficient, and advanced emergency response systems has become more important than ever.
