BHISHM Cube of Project Arogya Maitri, a state-of-the-art indigenous mobile hospital deployed in Ayodhya, played a pivotal role in saving the life of Ramkrishna Srivastava, a 65-year-old Dharmacharya Pramukh and member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Mr. Srivastava suffered a heart attack and a sudden medical emergency during the Pran Pratishta event on Monday, collapsing unconscious, said a senior health official.
The Indian Air Force’s Rapid Response Team from the BHISHM Cube led by Wg. Cdr. Manish Gupta evacuated Mr. Srivastava within minutes of the incident, capitalising on the critical golden hour — the first hour following a traumatic injury or medical event, which is crucial for successful emergency treatment.
“Upon initial assessment, Mr. Srivastava was found to have very high blood pressure, recorded at 210/170 mmHg. The team diagnosed him correctly and treated him as per the appropriate protocol. This prompt treatment led to a significant improvement in his condition,” said the health official.
