GVK EMRI signs MoU with NTRI Australia
Hyderabad Sept 5 (IBNS): In a significant step to strengthen trauma care in India, GVK EMRI, an emergency services provider, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Trauma Research Institute, Australia.
The MoU was signed by GVK Reddy, Founder Chairman and Managing Director – GVK and Russel Gruen, Director – NTRI; in the presence of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot.
G.V Ramana Rao, Head, EMLC & Research was also present at the occasion.
The aims of the collaboration include: Developing model regional trauma systems linking ambulance and hospital services; developing protocols to guide treatment and transport of patients; training in trauma care and emergency system leadership; strengthening communications, system monitoring and oversight; demonstrating effectiveness of integrated systems on patients and costs; and to provide financial models to support sustainable systems.
With expertise in trauma care, systems design, training and research, the partners are ideally placed to demonstrate the effectiveness of these systems in meeting the needs of a country where over 140,000 lives are lost annually in road accidents and the loss of lives and injuries leads to an estimated loss of 3.5% of India’s GDP.
Speaking on the occasion, GVK Reddy mentioned, “This event is a historical milestone. The technical knowhow of NTRI Australia combined with the experience of GVK EMRI in Indian conditions will accelerate developments in trauma care many fold. Through this initiative we will be able to contribute towards saving many more lives. At GVK EMRI, we are proud of being able to play a part in this service to the nation.”
