With an aim to provide top-notch medical emergency response, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) launched an Indoor Ambulance Service at the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (KIAB).

The two Prevalence Green Solutions-manufactured customised high-tech, battery-operated ambulances, powered by professionally trained and experienced emergency medical technicians from KIAB’s medical partner Aster Hospital – will provide 24/7 emergency medical service within the terminal (both domestic and international). Equipped with oxygen cylinders and other essential equipment, the ambulance will enable faster medical care before moving patient safely and securely to Aster Hospital for further care.
