Earlier this week, the Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh in a Lok Sabha session said that there are only 49 operational air ambulances in India by 19 operators. "Around 4,100 patients have hired ambulances during the last three years," Singh said in his reply to a written question in Lok Sabha. Air ambulance services are available in rural areas on a need and availability basis, he noted.
