Staff Shortage Strikes 108 Ambulance Services in Udupi District

The sudden shortage of medical personnel has left 108 ambulance stations in the Udupi district without adequate staffing, severely hampering emergency medical services in the region.

Officials report that many of these units operate with only a fraction of their required teams, leading to longer response times during critical situations. Residents in both urban and rural parts of Udupi have expressed worry over the delays and potential risks to patient care.

In response, local health authorities are launching an expedited recruitment drive and seeking support from the state government to fill vacancies. The issue has prompted calls for better resource allocation and training programs to prevent future service gaps. Source: Google News – Udupi.
