“It is with great responsibility that I state that the ‘Bjoern Steiger Foundation’ has submitted all related documents and proposals in order to explore this great venture in Sri Lanka. I’m glad to state that the German Embassy will be accompanying them on a political platform. The ‘Bjoern Steiger Foundation’ is a privately funded company that has shown great interest in investing its capital in order to build an island-wide emergency rescue system in the country under the authority of the Sri Lankan Government,” said Morhard.
The aim of ‘BjoernSteiger Foundation’ (the German Foundation) is to build an island-wide emergency rescue system within 24 months with German quality ambulances, helicopters, and other special rescue vehicles and also a communication system with the international emergency call number 112 to coordinate the whole system.
The proposal also guarantees to reach a patient and undertake primary care within 20 minutes after dialling the emergency number. The German team also positively expects international funds to pre-finance this project as all the money spent on running the system will remain in Sri Lanka. Any financial excess will be directed to invest in Government hospitals towards their modernisation. The service will be equal to all the citizens of Sri Lanka independent of social or economic status. The citizens bear the cost in solidarity to run the system according to their income with a stratum of society not paying at all.
The measures proposed by the German team included the following;
creating 29,000 new jobs opportunities for Sri Lankans in the rescue system with professional German guidance, island-wide training stations, three modern emergency island-wide call centres, 555 rescue stations with 1050 ambulances fully equipped with pre-medical care units of modern German technology, 260 special physician-escorted emergency cars, and 260 special technical vehicles to rescue people from difficult geographical situations as well as heavy accidents along with 20 helicopter bases with 24 fully equipped rescue helicopters. Around 35 German experts will be appointed to control the quality of the system for 10 years while all examinations for trainees will be certified according to current German standards.
