Lack of ambulance services in rural villages in Bhojpur put lives at risk

Patients have to be carried on stretchers to the nearest health institution to avail of medical services.

People in the remote villages of Bhojpur district still have to depend on stretchers and tractors to reach the nearest health institution since ambulance services are yet to reach there. In times of medical emergencies, the villagers have to carry patients on stretchers to either Bhojpur Bazaar, the district headquarters, or Khandbari, the headquarters of the neighbouring district of Sankhuwasabha, to avail of medical services.
