Mumbai: The Maharashtra government plans to start bicycle ambulances on a pilot basis which will have paramedics carrying medicine kits for senior citizens, a senior official said.
The pilot project will be launched soon in Mumbai and will be modelled on the one currently operational in the United Kingdom, the health department official added.
"Paramedics on bicycles will focus on senior citizens and will carry kits with essential medicines for them. They will also interact with senior citizens who live alone," the official told PTI.
