Umair Zahoor-Medical Helpline
Good Samaritan starts free helpline for medical emergencies in Srinagar
Srinagar/IBNS: Amid heavy snowfall, Umain Zahoor, a young businessman from Natipora and owner of a 4x4 vehicle, started a free helpline for medical emergencies on his social media accounts.
Umain said, “After i saw vehicles of some neighbours stuck in snow, i tried to help them out. I used social media to spread the word and identified a few localities where I could help people."
He said while dropping a patient, he saw a family waiting for a lift.
“They had to refill oxygen cylinder of their patient. Many people require help in such situations. If we do our bit, we can save lives. I am glad that in a few hours I was able to help five such people,” he added.
Umain took the help of social media to spread the word by creating posts and sharing it on his social media accounts, while also asking his friends to share it.
"Share-free service, For medical emergencies in case of road blockade due to snow. Will get you out. Areas: Natipora, Chanapora, Bypass, Lal Nagar, Nowgam, Rambagh," read his digital poster with contact details.
