QUETTA, Apr 30 In a historic step for healthcare in the province, Balochistan is set to launch its first-ever public air ambulance service, aimed at providing emergency medical assistance to citizens across remote and underserved areas.
Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti announced that the “Peoples Air Ambulance” is ready for service and will soon begin operations. Sharing images of the aircraft on social media, he described the initiative as the fulfillment of another promise made to the people of Balochistan.
Sarfraz Bugti explained that the air ambulance will enable the rapid transfer of critically ill and injured patients to major hospitals in larger cities, saving precious lives. He emphasized that the service will be particularly transformative for residents of far-flung and underdeveloped regions, where timely access to healthcare has long been a challenge.
“This facility will revolutionize emergency response in cases of accidents, natural disasters, or any urgent medical situation,” Bugti said, adding that the project reflects the government’s commitment to modernizing healthcare and ensuring quality services for every citizen.
He further noted that the initiative is part of the vision of Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, whose dream of improved healthcare access is being realized through the provincial government’s efforts.
The Peoples Air Ambulance would significantly strengthen Balochistan’s emergency medical infrastructure, offering swift response and bridging healthcare gaps across the province.
