Ambulance Handing Over Ceremony Supported by TIKA
In a major boost to regional healthcare accessibility, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) formally handed over a fully equipped emergency ambulance to the Forum of Rehabilitation for the Disabled (FORD) on July 1, 2016.
Due to Bagh's mountainous geography, accessing prompt medical treatment during obstetric crises, trauma accidents, or acute medical emergencies has historically been a severe hurdle for impoverished families and persons with disabilities.
Equipment & Capabilities
- Heavy-duty suspension tuned for rugged rural Kashmir mountain roads.
- Dual oxygen cylinders, emergency first-responder kit, and automated stretcher hoist.
- Subsidized and free service tiers for impoverished patients and registered PWDs.
FORD expressed profound gratitude to the people and government of Turkey for their steadfast solidarity with the people of Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
