Ahmedabad: Helipad on the hospital roof is the next big leap for healthcare in Ahmedabad. Hospitals in the city have planned new-generation facilities including air ambulance services and are building helipads.
With several government and private hospitals considering helipads for their projects, the usage of helicopters in the hospital market of Ahmedabad is set to rise. For instance, Zydus Hospitals in Ahmedabad has built a helipad on the rooftop of its 15-floor facility at a total cost of about Rs 70 lakh. The 550-bed hospital, set up at an investment of Rs 55 crore, plans to start an air ambulance facility in future. "We have plans to offer the air ambulance service but will not start immediately and wait for the economy to grow," said Pankaj Patel, founder of the hospital and chairman of Cadila Healthcare. "We have already built a helipad at Zydus Hospital and will keep a watch on the demand for air ambulance services." 05/04/15 Chitra Unnithan/Times of India
