Pakistan, Oct. 16 -- Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan has directed the National Highway Authority (NHA) to expedite efforts for the early launching of an Air Ambulance Service on Motorways and Highways to ensure the immediate transfer of accident victims to the hospitals. He emphasized that in the first phase, the heli service should commence with two helicopters while helipads should also be constructed in the hospitals to facilitate emergency landings as helicopters require minimal space for operation. Federal Minister made these remarks while chairing a high-level meeting at NHA Headquarters, attended by the Federal Secretary for Communications, the Chairman of NHA and other senior officers.
