"We have been deliberate in ensuring the last mile has a voice in designing solutions that benefit the community. The goal is to maximize the usage of the ambulance. The ambulance will serve the dual purpose of delivering timely care as well as transporting patients to hospitals in Coimbatore for specialized treatment not available at KMF Hospital. The ambulance is additionally planned to assist the outreach clinics and be used for home visits, ensuring full and effective utilization and positive community health outcomes."

Microland’s intervention will mitigate the problem, providing timely and critical care to the largely underprivileged population of the region.Ĭommenting on Microland Foundation and KMF Hospital’s commitment to ensure quality healthcare, Kalpana Kar of the Microland Foundation said, "It is the spirit of community service, partnership and dedication that drew Microland Foundation to support this COVID-19 health infrastructure upgradation and access project. Microland understood the KMF Hospital’s need for a compact ambulance in order to deliver timely treatment in this tough terrain. The region’s already-inadequate health infrastructure has been severely stretched by the COVID-19 pandemic. The donation was made through the Microland Foundation which spearheads Microland’s social development initiatives.


This remote region, with a population of 33,570, belongs to the tribal communities like the Badaga, Kotas, Todas, etc. The ambulance will serve 41 villages within a 10 km radius of Kotagiri. Microland, a global digital transformation company, has donated a state-of-the-art cardio-neuro ambulance to the Kotagiri Medical Fellowship Hospital (KMF) in the hilly Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu. Microland's intervention will mitigate the problem, providing timely and critical care to the largely underprivileged population of the region.
