Coimbatore: Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Coimbatore (ICCIC) on Saturday organised a meeting of heads of different hospitals in the city and various stakeholders to work out possibilities of a 'Helicopter Emergency Medical Service System' for the city. As per the project, people requiring emergency medical service in and around the city would be air-lifted from accident spots or residences to hospitals using helicopters which would function as 'air ambulances.' Addressing the gathering, chamber president M Krishnan said, a few top hospitals in the city have agreed to set up helipad to start the facility. Air ambulances would also boost city's prospects as a hub of medical tourism, he said.
