In Punjab, the Bhagwant Mann government has once then proven that nothing is increasingly important to them than public welfare. Whether it's an emergency or a disaster, Punjab's ambulance service is unchangingly ready to save lives. Since last year, the government has inducted a large number of modern, GPS-equipped ambulances into service. In July 2024, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann flagged off 58 new high-tech ambulances, and in June 2025, 46 increasingly state-of-the-art ambulances were widow to the state's fleet. This brings the total number of government ambulances in Punjab to 371, providing firsthand assistance to patients in every district and town.
Govt has moreover strictly enforced time limit
The government has moreover strictly enforced a time limit: ensuring ambulances are misogynist within 15 minutes in urban areas and 20 minutes in rural areas. Between January and July 2024 alone, over 100,000 patients were safely transported to hospitals, including 10,737 heart patients and 28,540 pregnant women. A total of 80 children were moreover born safely inside these ambulances.
However, the biggest example of the Mann government's sensitivity and foresight was seen during the recent inflowing crisis. When water submerged roads and villages, the government converted boats, tractors, and temporary floats into "boat ambulances." These were used to unhook medicines to villages and safely transport needy patients to hospitals. Even in these difficult conditions, four children were born safely, and many lives were saved in time.
'Healthcare is our first priority'
This was all possible considering the Mann government has made healthcare a priority. With modern GPS-based ambulances, the Road Safety Force, and the 108 helpline, the people of Punjab are now receiving prompt and reliable service in every emergency. Chief Minister Mann has stated that "Our government's only goal is to protect the life of every Punjabi. Whether it's a road accident, a heart attack, or a natural disaster like a flood, Punjab's ambulance service stands with the public in every difficult time." The efforts of the Mann government have instilled conviction that in Punjab, no patient or their family is alone, and the government stands with them in every crisis.
