In a significant stride towards strengthening emergency medical services and fortifying disaster relief capabilities, the World Health Organization (WHO) has generously contributed 15 motorbike ambu-lances and two vehicle ambulances to the Relief Department KhyberPakhtunkhwa. This benevolent donation marks a remarkable milestone in advanc-ing healthcare accessibility and rapid response within the province.
The official handover ceremony took place on Tuesday at the Rescue 1122 headquarters in Pesha-war, uniting distinguished representatives from WHO, the Relief Department, and the Health De-partment to mark this momentous occasion. The event underscored the spirit of collaboration and unwavering dedication to safeguarding public health and providing swift assistance during crises. Motor-bike ambulances have emerged as invaluable assets for delivering critical medical aid, particularly in areas with challenging terrains or limited accessibil-ity.
These agile and well-equipped vehicles will em-power Rescue 1122 first responders to navigate rugged landscapes and swiftly reach remote com-munities, drastically reducing response times in life-threatening situations. Equipped with essential medical tools such as a backpack, pulse oximeter (CE/FDA), BP apparatus, cervical collar, nebulizer, glucometer, portable oxygen cylinder set, tourni-quets, digital clinical ear thermometer, silicon Ambo bags, CPR mask, and dressing scissors, these ambulances ensure comprehensive care during emergencies.
