Indian
Railways has a system of rendering First Aid to any passenger in need. All
Rajdhani/Shatabdi Express trains are equipped with Augmented First Aid Boxes.
The Augmented First Aid Box contains wide range of medicines and disposable
medical material. Front line railway staff in trains is trained to provide
necessary first aid. In addition, services of doctors travelling as passengers
are also utilized. Trains make unscheduled halts, if necessary, at the station
en-route in emergencies. Railway doctors are available on call at major
stations. All the Station Masters have details of doctors, clinics & hospitals,
both Government and Private, in the vicinity of the station, so that their
services could also be availed, if needed.
