DRU to provide ambulance service for its members
Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) yesterday launched an ambulance service for its members and their families in the wake of coronavirus outbreak.
Deputy Minister of Water Resources Enamul Haque Shamim formally inaugurated the service at an event at the DRU auditorium, said a press release.
Journalists will be able to avail ambulance facilities equipped with staff members wearing protective gears for transporting suspected coronavirus patients to the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research, DRU said in a statement.
A DRU team will work in coordination with IEDCR.
DRU said it took the initiative to ensure swift detection and treatment of any suspected infection among its 1,800 members and their families. "Two ambulances will remain ready on DRU premises round the clock to provide the service," the statement said.
If any member or someone in the member's family shows coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, they may call the DRU coordination committee members for arranging the service and necessary treatment facilities. The names and contact numbers of coordination committee members have already been e-mailed to the members.
