Ugandans in dire need of urgent medical attention will now be able to access services faster following the introduction of the Maisha Air Ambulance Scheme. This is a cover under the AMREF Flying Doctors organization that gives quick access and response to air evacuations in the event of a medical emergency. It has been established in partnership with the Uganda National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UNCCI).
Speaking at the launch event held at the Imperial Royale Hotel in Kampala, Dr. Bettina Vadera the AMREF CEO said, “I believe this product will dramatically improve decision making in times of medical emergencies. In terms of accidents or any other medical emergencies, the speed of evacuation to a proper medical facility can often mean the difference between life and death.
