Moved by the people’s suffering during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, an Indian girl based in Seattle, Washington, decided to provide proper emergency medical services in her native state Kerala.
She is doing her bit to provide ambulance services to Kallara, a rural panchayat in Thiruvananthapuram, the New Indian Express reported.
The girl Ishika Binu chose the Kallara panchayat, where she provides ambulance service in association with Girl Scouts of Western Washington.
The initiative has already taken shape with the launch of the service by MLA D K Murali recently.
Ishika said to have realised the value of an ambulance after the accident because she and her sister who were in the car that met with the accident were saved due to timely availability of an ambulance and timely intervention of medical procedures
“We are extremely thankful to Ishika and the Girls Scout of Western Washington for their support. The ambulance service is very important for us. We faced a shortage of medical resources during the pandemic,” the New Indian Express quoted Kallara Panchayat president G J Lissy and vice-president Najinsha S.
“The service was launched through Ishika’s Girl scout project, Safe Drive Club, which creates awareness on safe driving. In 2018, when she was just 13 years old, Ishika was in a near-fatal car accident,” the report said.
A survivor of a fatal car accident at the age of 13, Ishika is doing this community service through the Safe Drive Club of the Girl Scout Project.
Ishika said to have realised the value of an ambulance after the accident because she and her sister, who was in the car that met with the accident, were saved due to the timely availability of an ambulance and timely intervention of medical procedures.
