1066 - is a telephone number which can be called from any landline or mobile, any time of the day or night, for any emergency. This number has been allotted to the Apollo Hospitals Group across India.

This is a free service for patients coming to Jehangir Hospital (within 30 km). For patients who wish to get admitted to any other hospital we charge a nominal fee.

1066 & Emergency

Jehangir Hospital in association with the Apollo Hospitals Group has launched '1066 Emergency Services' in Pune, since April 2, 2003.

The aim of this service is to provide comprehensive pre hospital and in hospital care. We have 4 ambulances with Advanced Life Support (ALS) systems, backed up by other ambulances with basic life support systems. This service is available within a radius of 30 km from Jehangir Hospital.

Since its launch in May 2003, this service has answered over 5,000 emergency calls in Pune and saved countless lives. The hospital has opened an outreach Emergency and Trauma Centre at Hadapsar in April 2007, to cater to patients for whom it is not possible to access professional emergency care in the peripheries of the city.

Since the ambulances are equipped with Defibfillators, Ventilators and other lifesaving equipment, treatment begins on the spot, within the 'Golden Hour' and this has saved many lives, especially during cardiac emergencies like Heart Attacks.

Some of the outstanding achievements of the Dial 1066 Service include:

• Helping a mother deliver a baby in the general compartment of a train at Pune station.
• Responding effectively to a distress call from a patient onboard a plane.
• Rescuing persons trapped in a collapsed building and three persons overcome by noxious fumes in a manhole.
• Effectual response to a major calamity in a forging unit in Pune where a major explosion resulted in 26 workers getting severe burns. All the casualties were brought to Jehangir Hospital and the rapidity of response and quality of treatment saved 24 lives. The two people who could not be saved had suffered over 90% burns.

Since the ambulances are equipped with Defibfillators, Ventilators and other lifesaving equipment, treatment begins on the spot, within the 'Golden Hour' and this has saved many lives, especially during cardiac emergencies like Heart Attacks.

Medical negligence reversed after swift action from 1066

Mrs. Phalke: This lady suffered a brain stroke that left her right side paralysed. Her recovery was made possible by the fact that she was administered a 'TPA' injection within 180 minutes of the first symptoms of paralysis. Under normal circumstances this treatment cannot be started until a thorough evaluation is carried out to rule out contraindications to administering the 'TPA' injection. This is a clot-buster treatment that dissolves the clot in the brain, reversing the paralysis. Had the 1066 team not reacted with alacrity, she would have been left permanently disabled.

Jehangir Hospital was the first hospital in Maharashtra to set up this treatment modality as a routine procedure.

An industrial explosion in Pune seriously injured 26 workers, all of whom were rushed to Jehangir Hospital. Dr. Fiyaz Pasha, the 1066 coordinator, declared 'Code Blue' for disaster. Rapid mobilisation of resources on an unprecedented scale was possible because of earlier drills carried out under the 1066 program. This helped us to save 24 lives, most of them serious burn cases.
