Blinkit rolls out ambulance in 10 min, pilot project in Gurugram: Feasible or not? Users debate

It’s not grocery but a healthcare service, and yet you will soon be able to order it in 10 minutes, as per the claims made under the new initiative by quick-commerce service, Blinkit. With the ambition to save as many lives as possible, the app has landed itself into becoming a hot topic of discussion ever since it has announced the ‘Ambulance in 10 minutes’ service. “I can’t trust an app in a life-and-death situation,” says Shanaita Shandilya, a 25-year-old creative producer and resident of Gurugram. I’d rather trust hospital-run services or the national helpline, and feel that delivery apps should stick to what they know best to deliver.” Others like Shailendra Nath, a chartered accountant from Delhi’s IP Extension, have expressed concerns about the service’s implementation. If this is the speed of response from hospitals then delivery apps definitely need to come forward to provide ambulance services at the click of a button and save lives.” For more, follow @htcity.delhijunction
