“When an accident happens, irrespective of whether it is small or big, there can be multiple organs involved. Therefore, it is extremely important to address accident cases immediately under a multidisciplinary medical team that can offer optimum treatment,” he said.

Cyberabad Police Commissioner M Stephen Raveendra, inaugurating the facility, said Cyberabad got the maximum number of road accidents cases in the State and that there was a need to aggressively work on preventing accidents.

AIG also tied up with four city-based groups for imparting training to over 200 volunteers for live-saving first-aid approach in case of accidents and other emergencies.
