Indian Railways suggests how to handle medical emergencies while travelling on train

Traveling by train is a common and practical option, and while it can be enjoyable, a sudden illness can quickly make the trip into a nightmare. In order to ensure prompt and appropriate medical attention, it is imperative to be aware of how to handle such situations.

One of the world’s largest railway systems, Indian Railways, makes every effort to offer its customers medical assistance when necessary. Basic first aid training is provided to train staff, and some stations have medical facilities. Additionally, mobile medical units have been introduced by Indian Railways to help passengers who require emergency medical attention. Being aware of what to do in case of illness while travelling by train can help guarantee a secure and comfortable trip.

Stay calm and seek help

Being calm and not panicking is the first thing to do if you feel ill on a train. Panicking could worsen the situation for you and those around you. Try to relax instead by taking deep breaths. The TTE (Traveling Ticket Examiner) should then be informed right away. They will help you get the medical attention you require because they have been trained to handle emergencies.

Contact the railway authorities

Try dialling 9794834924 if you are unable to reach the railway authorities through the helpline number 138. This number is dedicated to medical emergencies on trains.

Use social media to your advantage

Social media is another best place to get help. Tagging IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) on Twitter and providing PNR (Passenger Name Record) and other details can help the Railways quickly respond to medical emergency.

Access medical facilities on the train

The new system ensures that medical assistance is quickly given in the event of an emergency by giving doctors their own compartment in trains. For the convenience of passengers, medical boxes with a variety of medications and essential first aid supplies have been installed in several trains. For a fee of Rs 100, a doctor from the next station will come to your seat if you need their services.

Before starting the journey, take the necessary precautions.

Before starting journey, take the necessary precautions to avoid getting sick on a train. If already have a medical condition, be sure to bring any necessary medications, such as an inhaler for asthma, insulin, or painkillers while travelling. Eat light, hygienic food and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated on the road.
