The Delhi Cabinet on 20 Februray approved a pilot plan for launching a mobile bike ambulance scheme in the national capital.

Sixteen such bikes would be introduced on a pilot run in east Delhi. "One more long-standing decision that we approved today is, mobile bike ambulances for the city, which would be started on a pilot basis," Sisodia said. "The scheme is essentially meant to provide medical assistant to people in those areas where streets are narrow, and thus four-wheeled ambulances cannot enter. Each of these bikes would be equipped with a GPS, communication devices, possible medical kit, and the bike rider would be a paramedical staff," he said.
