Raipur, the capital city of Chhattisgarh, has witnessed rapid urban growth, industrial development, and steady improvement in healthcare infrastructure. Hospitals such as Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital, Ramkrishna Care Hospital, MMI Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, and Balaji Hospital serve as major medical centres for the region. Despite these advancements, many critical medical cases still require urgent transfer to super-speciality hospitals in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, or Kolkata especially for complex cardiac procedures, advanced cancer care, organ transplants, neonatal surgeries, or neurological interventions.

To address this vital need, Lifesavers Ambulance Services in Raipur provides ICU-equipped Train Ambulances (IRCTC), Charter Air Ambulances, Commercial Airline Medical Escorts, Paediatric & Neonatal Transfers, and Long-Distance Bed-to-Bed Medical Evacuation, ensuring patients receive safe and continuous medical care during transit.

Lifesavers Mission - Making Advanced Healthcare Accessible in Chhattisgarh

While Raipur serves as the medical hub of Chhattisgarh, many advanced treatments remain concentrated in metro cities. Patients from Raipur, Durg, Bhilai, Bilaspur, Korba, Jagdalpur, and nearby rural regions often face delays due to distance and transport limitations.

Lifesavers was created to bridge this healthcare gap, ensuring patients can safely travel long distances with continuous ICU-level care. Our train and air ambulance services remove logistical barriers and make specialised treatment accessible to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What medical facilities are available within the rail ambulance?

Our train ambulance comes equipped with all necessary medical facilities, including medicines, an ICU setup, medical technicians, experienced paramedics, and a critical care specialist doctor. If a doctor is not required, the cost can be reduced further.

Is a train ambulance a different train?

No, a train ambulance is not a separate train. It is a regular passenger train where one coach cabin is converted into an ICU with all the required medical equipment. It’s a common misconception that a rail ambulance is a train exclusively for patients.

How will you transport a critically ill patient or a bedridden patient?

Every train station has accessible routes for patients on stretchers to reach the platform. The same passages used for loading luggage and goods are utilized for transporting bedridden patients.

Does it have a stretcher or an ICU bed?

It’s not feasible to include stretchers or ICU beds in a train ambulance. If someone claims otherwise, they are misinformed.

Will the medical equipment function throughout the journey?

Yes, our train ambulance is equipped with adequate power backup and oxygen cylinders. We ensure there is enough power backup to support all medical equipment, with an extra reserve of eight to ten hours to account for any train delays.

What is the cost of a rail ambulance?

Our train ambulance service in Raipur is cost-effective. We maintain lower costs compared to other providers because we own and control all our medical equipment, eliminating the need for third-party procurement. This ensures both cost-effectiveness and quality control.

Will the patient get a special nutritious meal?

While we recognize the importance of a nutritious meal tailored to the patient’s needs, the train’s catering or pantry car is not equipped to provide such meals. The patient’s family should prepare and bring home-cooked food for the journey.

Will you drop off the patient at the hospital upon reaching the destination?

Yes, our service is known for providing BED-TO-BED transportation. This means we pick the patient from one hospital bed and transfer them to another hospital bed in the destination city. For example, if the journey is from Raipur to Delhi, we ensure the patient is moved from a hospital bed in Raipur to a hospital bed in Delhi.

What facilities does a patient’s relative or attendant receive?

The attendant receives the same facilities as any other train passenger, adhering to standard train rules.

Do you provide train ambulance services from Raipur?

Yes, Lifesavers operates IRCTC-supported ICU train ambulances from Raipur to cities across India.

Is train ambulance safe for critical patients?

Yes. Train ambulances offer a stable environment with continuous ICU monitoring and expert medical supervision.

Do you transport newborns and children?

Absolutely. We provide NICU-level neonatal and paediatric transfers with specialised equipment and staff.

How fast can an air ambulance be arranged?

Charter air ambulances can often be arranged within 12-24 hours, depending on airport clearance.

Are charges transparent?

Yes. All costs are shared upfront with a written estimate.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our first and only experience of an Ambulatory service was with Dr.Pradeep Gupta's "Life Savers". Patient was in ICU and on non-invasive Ventilator (NIV) for 5 days in Delhi, post which we engaged services of Life Savers - Train Ambulatory services, to move this elderly female patient (aged 85 years) from ICU in Delhi to ICU in Mumbai (door to door), for continuity of treatment. Intensivist Dr.Deepshikhar Gupta and paramedic Ashwini accompanied us. Dr.Deepshikhar infact came a day earlier to see the patient first hand and interact with the ICU team in Delhi. He is a confident and experienced intensivist. Our Point to Point experience of 21 hours (road & rail) with Life Savers was tension free and relaxed. We thank them for the professional service rendered by them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On 5th February, we arranged an air ambulance transfer from Bhubaneshwar to Delhi, and the service was truly outstanding from start to finish. Right from the first call, the team was compassionate, responsive, and extremely professional. They guided us through the entire process clearly, ensuring all documentation and medical requirements were handled smoothly. The medical crew on board was exceptional — highly skilled, attentive, and caring throughout the flight. Their constant monitoring and quick response brought immense peace of mind during a stressful time. The aircraft was fully equipped with ICU-level support, and every safety protocol was followed meticulously. What impressed us most was the bed-to-bed coordination — the team made sure the transition from the hospital in Bhubaneswar to the receiving facility in Delhi was seamless. Communication was prompt and transparent at every step, and we always knew what was happening. We are extremely grateful for the care and professionalism shown by the entire crew. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable, compassionate, and efficient air ambulance services.
