Staff Shortage Leaves 108 Ambulances in Udupi at Partial Capacity

Udupi district in Karnataka is grappling with a severe workforce crisis that has affected its emergency medical response system.

According to a report by Google News, all 108 ambulance units throughout the district are currently understaffed, a consequence of rising healthcare demand, pandemic aftereffects, and challenges in recruiting new personnel.

The shortage has forced many ambulances into partial operation, limiting their ability to reach patients promptly and jeopardising treatment outcomes. Health officials are calling for immediate action to fill vacancies and ensure timely crisis care.
