Ralmed Ambulance’s Community Medical Response Car provides basic medical assessments at your home
Ralmed aims to empower patients to make informed decisions about their health while ensuring that urgent medical needs are not neglected.
In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, a troubling trend has surfaced in how patients approach seeking hospital care. Many patients now express a fear of hospitals, largely due to their personal loss of family and friends as well as perceived exposure to infectious diseases.
Owen Man-hire, the director at Ralmed Ambulance, has highlighted the impact of these changing patient behaviours. He mentioned, “Following the Covid-19 pandemic, we have noticed a significant reluctance among patients to visit hospitals for care, leading to an increase in self-diagnosing at home. This shift has resulted in situations where patients, unaware of the seriousness of their conditions, might ignore symptoms that require immediate medical attention. It is essential for people to realise the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for accurate diagnoses and timely treatments.”
Given the current healthcare scenario, the Ralmed community medical response vehicle plays a crucial role in offering basic medical checks to the community.
Recognising the challenges faced by individuals who may be unsure if their symptoms warrant a trip to the hospital casualty department, Ralmed Ambulance is providing a solution through its Community Medical Response Car. This specialised vehicle, staffed by a medic, is equipped to perform basic medical assessments for symptomatic individuals in the comfort of their homes.
“We recognise that some individuals may have medical symptoms that cause concern but may not require immediate emergency care,” explained Owen Man-hire. “By expanding the services of the Community Medical Response Car to assist these individuals, our goal is to provide basic medical assessments and guidance on the next steps for appropriate care. We encourage chronic medical patients to use the Community Medical Response vehicle for regular basic medical vital checks in the comfort of their homes. Our aim is to empower patients to make informed decisions about their health while ensuring that urgent medical needs are not neglected.”
