Mumbai, Maharashtra : In a concerted effort towards elevating emergency medical response standards in India, SUMEET SSG today announced a strategic partnership with Spencer India, part of Spencer Italia S.r.l, Europe’s leading manufacturer of advanced emergency medical equipment. Through this collaboration, 1,756 Maharashtra Emergency Medical Services (MEMS 108) ambulances will be equipped with globally certified stretchers, evacuation systems, immobilization devices, and critical rescue equipment.
The partnership will be executed over a multi-year period, with phased deployment beginning soon, positioning MEMS 108 among the first state-wide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) networks in India to adopt a fully European-standard pre-hospital care ecosystem at scale.
Summit Salunke, Chairman, SUMEET SSG, said, “Our partnership with Spencer marks a defining moment for emergency medical services in India. MEMS 108 is not just a fleet; it is a complete life-saving ecosystem. By integrating globally proven equipment, we are ensuring that every ambulance in Maharashtra meets the highest standards of safety, reliability, and clinical excellence.”
Mr. Manish Malik, MD, Spencer India added, “The partnership will be carried out over a multi-year period, with phased deployment beginning in the near term and full fleet integration expected in subsequent phases, positioning MEMS 108 among the first state-wide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) networks in India to adopt a fully European-standard pre-hospital care ecosystem at scale.”
Under this partnership, SUMEET SSG will integrate a comprehensive suite of Spencer’s advanced emergency medical solutions, including:
• Specialized patient-handling equipment such as advanced stretchers, scoop stretchers and transport chairs
• Neck and spine immobilization systems designed for trauma care
• Patented rescue and evacuation systems
• Oxygen delivery systems for critical care scenarios
• PPE kits engineered for rapid, safe and ergonomic emergency response
These solutions are designed to enhance operational efficiency, improve patient outcomes and support frontline emergency responders with globally benchmarked tools.
Impact on the MEMS 108 Project
• European-standard patient handling and transport systems across the fleet
• Improved safety and ergonomics for paramedics and EMTs
• Faster, smoother patient transfers during emergencies
• Strengthened trauma management and patient stabilization capabilities
• Alignment with global emergency medical care standards
This partnership further strengthens SUMEET SSG’s vision of building one of India’s most advanced and scalable emergency medical service networks, combining global medical technology with a strong on-ground response infrastructure.
