The National Highway Authority, Pakistan, is taking a bold step in enhancing the utilization of its motorways with the introduction of the Helicopter Rescue Service. The move is one of the steps in larger plans that seek to reduce motorway accidents and thus save lives by acting swiftly.
Improvement in Road Safety
Given the growing number of vehicles on roads, the NHA is taking interest in advanced safety measures. Due to the helicopter rescue service, quick medical assistance, accident recovery, and recovery in remote areas can be achieved where the motorway emergency services face delays. This move is likely to reduce the fatalities on motorways by a significant percentage.
Response to Emergencies in the Shortest Time
The helicopter rescues that will be introduced ensure that the injured receive immediate medical attention. In case of accidents, the accident victims will be airlifted quickly to nearby hospitals, a factor that will help in saving lives within the first critical golden hour following the crash.
Part of Larger Safety Strategy
The helicopter service is part of the comprehensive road safety strategy of the NHA. The authority is equally busy in the upgrading of road infrastructure, installation of modern traffic monitoring systems, and raising public awareness regarding safe driving standards. These joint efforts will ensure that the motorways of Pakistan are made as safe as possible for all sorts of commuters.
Milestone in Road Safety
This is another feather in the cap of road safety and citizens’ welfare in the commitment of Pakistan. NHA, with the use of modern technology backed by quick and agile emergency response services, is setting a new benchmark for safety on the highways and motorways of the country.
