ABOUT
OUR BACKGROUND
Ziqitza Health Care Limited (ZHL), has beena pioneer in the Emergency Medical Response Services and Patient Transport Services in India since 2005.
ZHL was setup by a group of young professionals who, after their training in the US and entrepreneurial projects in India, realised the acute need for an organised and networked Ambulance service in India, which would also be the fastest emergency response service.
OUR VISION
ZHL’s vision is to assist in saving human lives by providing a leading network of fully equipped Advanced and Basic Life Support Ambulances across the developing world.
Our vision is reflected in our commitment to meet International standards of quality in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and be accessible to everyone regardless of their income bracket. Our values lie in being ethical, transparent and fostering teamwork.
THE NEED TO START ZHL
In 2005, Ziqitza Health Care Limited (Ziqitza Health Care) was founded by Shaffi Mather, Manish Sacheti, Ravi Krishna, Naresh Jain, Sweta Mangal - a group of young professionals - as a result of two contrasting personal experiences.
Late one fateful night in India, Shaffi Mather’s mother choked in her sleep and had breathing problems. Faced with the uncertainty of what to do, which number to call, and whom to rely on for assistance, the family felt helpless and chose to drive her to the hospital themselves. Just a few days later, Ravi Krishna’s mother collapsed in Manhattan, New York, USA, and within minutes, 911 arrived, provided medical aid and his mother survived.
​
The founders realised that the difference in both scenarios was the availability and accessibility of standardised emergency medical services provided. Every life matters and every second counts in saving a life. We believe that countless lives can be saved and numerous casualties minimised, with adequate and quick transportation facilities.
ZHL recognised the need of organised and professional ambulance providers in the country, and thus began the journey to create the best emergency response service in India that would be on par with 911 in the U.S. and 999 in the U.K. They realised the urgency of an organised and networked ambulance service required for saving those lives that would have been otherwise lost, for want of timely medical attention.
