Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin inaugurated ‘Innuyir Kaapom’ (Save Precious Lives) scheme in 609 hospitals on Saturday. The State Health Department had announced the scheme last month that would provide medical bills to all accident victims in the first 48 hours of admission to a hospital.

The essential free medical care will be provided in collaboration with the Department of Highways and Department of Transport in 204 government hospitals and 405 private hospitals.
இதன்படி, விபத்து நடந்து, உயிரைக் காப்பாற்ற மிக முக்கியமான golden hours எனப்படும் முதல் 48 மணிநேரத்துக்கு, அவசர மருத்துவ சிகிச்சைக்கான செலவை அரசே ஏற்கும்.
உயிரிழப்பைத் தடுப்பது ஒருபுறம் இருந்தாலும், விபத்துகளே ஏற்படாமல் தடுக்க சமூகப் பொறுப்புணர்வுடன் ஒவ்வொருவரும் செயல்படவேண்டும்! pic.twitter.com/SiH0NQboq9
