President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday rolled out 79 locally-assembled advanced ambulances for tertiary hospitals across Nigeria, in a bid to strengthen emergency healthcare delivery and reduce avoidable deaths nationwide.
The ambulances, commissioned in Lagos by the Chief Medical Director of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Professor Wasiu Lanre Adeyemo, on behalf of the President, are to be distributed to federal tertiary health institutions under the National Emergency Medical Services and Ambulance System (NEMSAS).
The intervention forms part of activities marking the third anniversary of the Tinubu administration and is aimed at improving emergency response capacity across the country.
