RED.Health Achieves Historic JCI Accreditation: Revolutionizing Medical Transport in Asia

RED.Health has proudly announced its milestone achievement of becoming the first medical transport company in Asia to receive the esteemed Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. Recognized globally as the gold standard for quality and patient safety in healthcare, this accreditation is set to pave the way for new partnerships with hospitals, insurance companies, and other healthcare providers, significantly elevating the quality of emergency care to meet growing demands.

"Our goal is to ensure safe medical transport for everyone’s family. We are committed to providing high-quality patient care beyond hospital walls," stated Prabhdeep Singh, Founder and CEO of RED.Health.

Dr. Tausif Thangalvadi, VP of Operations and Medical Director, echoed this sentiment, saying, "JCI accreditation sets new benchmarks for patient care, and we hope to pave the way for high-quality and safe medical transport in India."

With a fleet of over 10,000 ambulances operating across more than 510 cities, RED.Health tackles the critical issues caused by delays in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Each minute of delay increases the risk of severe trauma mortality by 2-3 percent, while a 15-minute delay for stroke patients raises the risk of long-term disability or death. Inefficient transport also exacerbates patient stress and anxiety, prolongs emergency department stays, and inflates healthcare costs. By enhancing EMS efficiency, RED.Health aims to reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions, improve patient outcomes, and potentially save the healthcare system up to INR 23,000 crores annually.
