KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 (Bernama) -- Prince Court Medical Centre, in collaboration with First Ambulance, has launched Malaysia’s first electric motorcycle ambulance as part of its First Responder Service, highlighting the hospital’s commitment to delivering faster, life-saving medical assistance and enhancing emergency care.

The hospital said the electric motorcycle ambulance plays a crucial role in its aim to improve response times, providing immediate care in traffic-congested areas until a conventional ambulance arrives to transport patients to the accident and emergency department.

“Equipped with essential medical supplies, the electric motorcycle ambulance enables paramedics to stabilise patients and provide vital interventions quickly, which can be crucial in life-threatening situations.

“As part of Prince Court’s dedication to community well-being, the hospital is providing free ambulance services within a 10-kilometre radius of its location in Kuala Lumpur,” it said in a statement today.

Its chief executive officer Dr Shuba Srinivasan said at Prince Court, their commitment to patient care and emergency response drives them to continuously set new standards.

“The launch of our electric motorcycle ambulance represents a significant step forward in delivering faster, more efficient medical assistance. 

“With this initiative, PCMC is at the forefront of emergency medical response, reinforcing our dedication as a responsible healthcare provider to enhancing the lives of the communities we serve,” she said.

Meanwhile, First Ambulance managing director Steven Penafort said they are honoured to partner with Prince Court to launch the electric motorcycle ambulance as part of their emergency response.

“This innovative approach will help our paramedics reach patients quicker and provide essential interventions more effectively. We are proud to support Prince Court in enhancing patient care,” he said. 

Prince Court has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Orion Residence, a new property development off Jalan Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur, to provide residents with an integrated panic button within the residence that connects directly to the Prince Court’s ambulance service, significantly improving response capabilities.

Orion Tower Sdn Bhd executive director Thomas Ling said the new panic button system, supported by Prince Court’s electric motorcycle ambulances and ambulances, will ensure fast emergency response and give its residents peace of mind, knowing help is only a button away.

“This initiative reflects our commitment to a safe and supportive community,” Ling said.
