Air ambulance service by Edhi and other orgs in Punjab is already there. But I am sure that this service will help in covering the tracks of PTI as they will use such helicopters for personal trips.
Dont be touchy minded. Hope for the best.

excellent initiative, i hope they have a strong service and maintenance department , as seen in the past. we buy equipment and then after a few months/years it is put to scrap due to non availability of service and maintenance budget, this budget should be assigned at the time of procurement of the product. i hope someone realizes this as a helicopter is a very sensitive equipment and requires constant maintenance to be flight worthy…. else it will be grounded and will rust to destruction as in the case of many helicopters already bought for many other purposes by the previous govts…. .
