About 300 to 320 victims are rescued monthly through this initiative; that is why we are training people to improve their efficiency in the field to promote effective health management in the state. Continuous training of paramedics will allow for proper evaluation through a feedback policy, thereby leading to an improved healthcare system in the state and the nation at large,’’ she said.
