FG begins nationwide distribution of ambulances to strengthen emergency care
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony held at the National Trauma Centre, Riyom, Plateau State on Monday, Daju Kachollom, permanent secretary, Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, said the intervention was designed to address last-mile challenges in emergency transportation, particularly in hard-to-reach communities where delays in accessing healthcare could determine whether lives are saved.
The federal government has begun the nationwide distribution of Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances and tricycle ambulances to strengthen emergency medical response and improve access to timely healthcare, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
He noted that the intervention aligns with Plateau State’s healthcare priorities, including its earlier procurement of five tricycle ambulances under the Maternal and Newborn Mortality Innovative Initiative in Jos East.
