“There’s nothing complicated about it. Good Ambulances, Better Outcomes!”
“Our organization provides a dedicated helpline to organisations across India to cater to any emergency request coming via that organisation 24*7*365. We provide on-site ambulance services and medical rooms to cater to any emergency on that site in less than 5 minutes. Our teams are catering to sites hosting large audiences like malls, business hubs, big corporate offices, entertainment and amusement parks. We provide our Emergency Management technology to Hospitals and ambulance owners for easy management of their ambulance fleet and emergencies. We also do capacity building via organizing First aid training for corporates.
Medulance works on an aggregator model so as to be asset-light in our business. For on-demand ambulances we’ve aggregated around 5000+ ambulance vendors in all the 22 cities we’re operating in - after doing stringent compliance and safety checks. For on-site ambulances, we work on a lease model where we lease the ambulances from the vendor for the duration of our contract and all the manpower is on our payroll. For medical-rooms, we set up the equipment and infrastructure while paramedics and doctors are on our payroll as per the requirements”.
Medulance’s USP lies in its integrated Emergency Management Technology & highly skilled front-line staff which helps in reducing response time and improving the patient admission process.
Medulance’s mission is to assist lives by minimizing medical emergencies and responding to them, if and when they arise. Its values – such as empathy, transparency, professionalism, innovation and commitment - serve as a compass for its actions and influence how the team engages with its ecosystem.
Medulance was born out of a pressing need to increase the reliability and access to world-class ambulatory services in India. Its GPS based aggregator technology connects the numerous and dispersed ambulatory services across the country directly to people, eliminating any time lapse in search and discovery, a factor that has led to huge loss of lives. Standardized quality in paramedic facilities, experienced medical staff and rapid response time are what makes Medulance one of today’s most reliable partners in medical emergencies.
Since inception in 2017, the Medulance fleet has grown to 5000 ambulances in 22 cities across India, and over 3 lakhs people have received timely medical help. Medulance operates as a B2B, B2C and a B2G service provider, increasing the geographic and demographic reach for its services.
Medulance has had a steep learning curve since the beginning of the pandemic that continues to rage now, in 2021. The utilization rate on the Medulance platform rose to 100% during the 2nd wave of the pandemic in India, and this has led to rapid scaling up of the technology platform to address the special needs of Covid-19 patients. This includes access in tier 2 and 3 towns, ensuring uninterrupted fleet availability, 100% call answering, improved response times and supporting frontline paramedics.
Defining the problem
In 2018, 1,51,000 fatalities were caused due to road accidents. 50% of lives of road accident victims could have been saved if timely assistance was made available to them. Moreover, 40%-60% deaths in India are preventable. Around 1.5 lakh lives can be saved every year by reducing the response time of emergency services by just 1 minute. The situation today isn’t better, it’s worse.
The major challenges are
1) Severe lack of awareness and facility of First Aid communication.
2) Inability of a person to have a top of mind recall of emergency numbers.
3) High response time.
4) Large number of calls being missed.
5) The unorganized nature of the emergency & ambulatory services sector.
6) The lack of technology.
7) The absence of standard practice in ERS, affecting serviceability & customer experience.
8) No prominent national entity in emergency response.
COVID-19 has multiplied the panic and confusion amongst the population about emergency services, resulting in chaos and leaving people and organizations in jeopardy. There is no access or reliance on a single, high quality service provider that people can reach out to in times of emergency for quick and reliable emergency care.
