Other demands include formation of a national policy on ambulances and the implementation of prime minister’s announced toll-free facility for ambulances.

The ambulance owners also demanded parking facilities at all hospitals in the country, the facility to fill up fuel at filling stations without having to wait in lines while transporting a patient, and uninterrupted travel on roads.
