Paramedical Sciences has served as a lateral aid to the medical science, in terms of diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Their primary role is to provide advanced pre-hospital medical care to the patients. A paramedic can be defined as a person who works in a healthcare field in an auxiliary capacity to a physician. They are specially trained medical technicians certified to provide a wide range of emergency medical services. With the advent of technological development of medical sciences, several invasive and non-invasive tools were designed, that reported a sudden upsurge of trained paramedical manpower for the operation of these technical inventions in medical sciences. Even though they play a crucial role in delivering health care, their contribution went un-noticed in terms of setting up a separate Council/Governing body, with specified guidelines/regulations to maintain a uniform high quality standard of training and education of paramedics all over the nation and register qualified personnel for the free practice of the profession.
