Bihar Chief Minister Shri. Nitish Kumar on Wednesday (June 3, 2009) launched Dial 108, a life support ambulance service in Patna. The Chief Minister flagged off a fleet of 10 ambulances from Old Secretariat after personally inspecting the ambulance and learning and interacting with the Emergency Medical Technician on the various equipments such as defibrillator, ECG, cardiac monitor, resuscitation kit etc. which are on board the Ambulances.
All these ambulances are fitted with global positioning system (GPS) equipment which would allow the operators to keep a tab on the exact position of a particular ambulance. Then there would be medical technicians and helpers in these ambulances to attend patients availing this service. 
The service has been designed on public-private partnership (PPP) model and user would have to pay Rs 300 for availing the facility. Members of below poverty line (BPL) families, however, would not have to pay for services given to them as payment would be made from funds of Patients' Welfare Committee of the Bihar State Government.
