Palampur, June 19
Health Minister Vipin Singh Parmar on Tuesday said Himachal would be the first state in the country to have the air ambulance helicopter facility for its residents.
Addressing mediapersons here, Parmar said the state government had already signed an MoU with a Switzerland-based aviation company to launch the facility at the earliest.
The minister said soon after taking over as the Chief Minister of the state, Jai Ram Thakur had promised to upgrade health services, particularly in the rural areas, keeping in view difficult topography and poor road connectivity.
He said it was the first step of the state government in this regard.
