Delay in reaching an appropriate health facility is one of the significant reasons contributing to high neonatal mortality and maternal mortality. This is mainly due to the lack of readily available and affordable transport facilities, inaccessibility or distance for which people fail to access institutional health services. Under the Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK), pregnant women and infants are entitled to free transfers from home to hospital, inter-facilities transfers in case of referral and transport from the hospital to home. Zenplus provides this service by partnering with the various state governments and the National Health Mission.
This service is provided for one year from delivery, enabling safe transportation even for infant vaccinations. The ambulance service offers first aid to the patient and transports them to the nearest community health centre or government hospital.
Dial 108 to get an ambulance free of cost.

The nearest ambulance will be dispatched to pick up the patient.
The 108 crew will stabilize & transfer the patient to the nearest government hospital.
I was getting acute labor pain when my neighbor called 102 Ambulance they came in sometime and while going to the hospital my pain started increasing with the help of Paramedic and Asha Worker I delivered the baby on the way. The paramedic gave us all the pre hospital care and safely transferred me and my child to the nearest government hospital.
