Partnership executed for emergency medical transportation services

Bengaluru: Even, Bengaluru headquartered health-tech company and healthcare provider and StanPlus – India's leading emergency medical response company, announced their partnership to provide emergency medical transportation services.

StanPlus and Even will work closely to ensure that patients have access to 24/7, unlimited and pan-India emergency ambulance services that include road and air ambulance transportation and doctors on call. To ensure a hassle-free service experience, a dedicated 24/7 emergency number - 1800-121-3882 has been set up for emergency response.
