In India, every day, more than 24,000 people die due to a delay in getting medical help within the Golden Hour. The delays are due to the non-availability of the ambulance, ambulances getting stuck in traffic, lack of paramedic in the ambulance, unavailability of beds in the hospital, inter Hospital transfers, and other healthcare support limitations.
