New Delhi, Nov 13: India’s first-ever "Air Dispensary" based in a helicopter will start soon in the Northeast region for which the Union Ministry of Development of Northeast (DONER) has contributed Rs 25 crore as part of the initial funding for this initiative.
The Union Ministry of Northeast/DoNER is 'keenly pursuing' the proposal so that by the beginning of 2018, this could be 'the Union Government’s gift to the people of Northeast,' Union Minister of State (independent charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) and PMO Jitendra Singh said. He was speaking at a meeting with representatives of the aviation sector and helicopter service Pawan Hans. Dr Jitendra Singh said his ministry had been mulling the idea of introducing a helicopter-based dispensary/OPD service in such far flung and remote areas, where no doctor or medical facility was available and the patient, in need, also did not have any access to any medical care. The proposal put forward by the DONER ministry has been 'accepted and is in the final stages of process in the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation,' Dr Singh said.He disclosed that even today, nearly 1/3rd of India’s population did not have access to proper hospital bed care, as a result of which, poor patients living in remote areas remained deprived of crucial medical care. The experiment being introduced in the Northeast, at the behest of the Ministry of Northeast/DoNER, can also be emulated in other hill states having difficult topography like Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, he suggested. To begin with, the helicopter will be based at two locations, namely Imphal in Manipur and Meghalaya in Shillong. Both of these cities have premier post-graduate medical institutes from where pecialist doctors, along with the necessary equipment and paramedical staff, would be able to move into the helicopter and hold a dispensary/OPD in different locations across the eight North Eastern states. On its way back, he said, the same helicopter can also transport a sick patient, requiring admission, to a city hospital. Giving an account of other new helicopter service plans for the Northeast, Dr Singh said, three twin-engine helicopters are planned to be placed for initial operation on six routes in the region around Imphal, Guwahati and Dibrugarh, an official release here said.

Jammu, Aug 17 :  Union Minister in Prime Minister's office Dr Jitendra Singh today advocated for heli-health service to the people living in remotest areas of Jammu and Kashmir. "An idea can be developed and I am of the opinion that Out Patient Department (OPD) can be run through air service in the remote areas," Dr Singh said while speaking at inaugural ceremony of upgraded terminal building at Jammu Airport. He further said, "there are areas like Dachhan, Marwan in Kishtwar and remotest parts in Doda, Ramban where health facilities are not reaching at their doorstep due to which people remain deprived of the facilities." He suggested OPD service through air service to reach people suffering from diseases. Dr Singh also said that when roads closed during harsh winter season, subsidised fare should be charged from the students and other passengers by the companies running flights. The Union MoS further said, "Jammu Airport also have day landing provision and the matter of night flights is taken up with Ministry of Defence and we hope that it will soon be sorted out." He however said that a chunk of land can be identified on Jammu-Kathua Highway to construct new airport and also advised to convert Udhampur Airport on Civil airport pattern. UNI
