SALIENT FEATURES




 The main feature of this conveyance is that its base/platform is at a considerably low height from the ground level than a common rickshaw van. This arrangement is made to create more space and reduce the vibration, which otherwise cause discomfort to the patient in a rugged terrain of an unpaved road.
 A stretcher is placed on one side, with proper shock absorbing arrangements. This helps in avoiding jerks due to bad road conditions. The stretcher can be removed while using the conveyance for a purpose other than carrying ailing patients.
 Just opposite to the stretcher, sitting arrangement is made for at least two attendants.
 An oxygen cylinder is kept at one corner so as to meet the exigencies.
 Likewise, a first-aid-box is also kept at one corner.
 A wash basin is placed beside the stretcher.
 Arrangements for saline, drinking water, adequate lighting, are made.
 Battery operated hand mike set is fitted on the top of the vehicle.
 Provisions for life jacket, life line, stuff, small tent, extra rope, folding ladder, blankets, etc. are there for using the vehicle during calamities.
 The top of the vehicle is tin-roofed and the sides are also fenced with tin sheets and nets are placed in between to ensure adequate ventilation.
