Each year in India, panic results in horrific stampedes result in innumerable casualties in a single incident. Two common examples are the Ratangarh temple stampede of 2013 left 115 people dead, while the Sabarimala stampede of 2012 resulted in an additional 100. Such tragedies are all too common in our country. If we look to pass tragedies, where the presence of large groups resulted in chaos and horrible human losses, we can just think how many of these incidents could have been avoided with timely medical intervention with ambulances at events.
Ambulance for events ensures that any medical emergency will be attended on mass gathering of people, whether it’s a music concert, sporting event, religious ceremony, political demonstration, or public exhibition, is subject to numerous risks. These may be in the form of fires, stampedes, riots, terrorist attacks or other such mishaps, that may result in multiple casualties. The presence of an ambulance for events of such a nature isn’t just a lifesaving grace.
We urge event management companies to pay attention to this essential department to ensure safety of all present at their event, no matter how small or how big the event may be. Large concentrations of people in a small space, given the number of variables – is a recipe for accidents to occur. The primary job of an onsite ambulance in this regard is to treat and prevent life-threatening injuries from becoming fatal. In such cases, a fully equipped onsite ambulance can also to serve as a mobile medical unit, if the need be.
