"Ambulance for Rural Healthcare Development"

 SBI General Insurance and Creative Group Collaborates to Launch "Ambulance for Rural Healthcare Development" Project in Maharashtra

Titwala, January 03, 2025 – SBI General Insurance, one of India’s leading general insurance companies, has partnered up with Creative Group, an NGO dedicated to enhancing community healthcare, to roll out the "Ambulance for Rural Healthcare Development" initiative. As part of the collaboration, the project will provide a specially equipped Force Basic Life Support ambulance to transport patients from remote villages to Shree Mahaganpati Hospital, ensuring timely access to emergency medical care.

This project aims to deliver essential healthcare services to rural areas around Titwala, Murbad, Khandavali, and approximately 68 nearby villages. A significant challenge for residents in these regions has been the lack of timely medical transportation. Without reliable access to healthcare facilities during critical emergencies, many patients have struggled to receive the care they need. Recognizing this pressing issue, SBI General Insurance has stepped forward to support this vital initiative, which will deliver both emergency transportation and preventive healthcare services to thousands of people in these communities.

Speaking on the project, Mr. Rathin Lahiri, Head – Marketing & CSR at SBI General Insurance, said "We are proud to partner with Creative Group on this significant healthcare initiative. At SBI General Insurance, we are deeply committed to improving the health and well-being of communities, especially those in underserved areas. This partnership will ensure that people in Titwala and the surrounding rural region have access to timely medical care and preventive healthcare, ultimately making a positive impact on their lives.”

Vikrant Bapat, Chairman, Creative Group, added: "Creative Group is working since last 24 years in the field of rural healthcare for Titwala and surrounding 68 villages,  initially through Creative Polyclinic for first twelve years and next twelve years through Shree Mahaganpati Hospital, which was the first multi-specialty secondary care level 50 bedded NABH accredited hospital. We receive over 150 emergency patients at our casualty per month, few patients needs tertiary care, ambulance donated by SBI General Insurance will play vital role for safe transportation of patients, also will help us to conduct free medical checkup camps at adivasi padas and interior villages”.

The project aims to transport approximately 40-50 patients each month, ensuring they reach hospitals in time for critical care. In addition, 24 health camps will be organized throughout the region, providing free preventive health check-ups and consultations to around 1,000 individuals. These camps will help enhance early disease detection and raise overall health awareness within the community.
