The Himachal Pradesh Cabinet on Thursday gave its nod to Helimission of Switzerland to introduce free heli-ambulance services for trekkers and tourists with the assistance of Lady Willingdon Hospital. This will go a long way in strengthening the health transport services and timely air lifting of the patients particularly from remote and tribal regions of the state, a government statement said.

A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur.
