To resolve this dilemma, a Parliamentary Committee has recommended that the government create a live public dashboard showing the location of hospitals empanelled under the PM-RAHAT scheme to enable Good Samaritans (or Rah-Veer) to take the injured persons to the relevant facility during the critical “golden hour”. The committee has also recommended that the dashboard be integrated with the existing 108 ambulance network.

The committee has recommended that the PM-RAHAT scheme be assigned quantified outreach targets within the …
