A new 4X4 Desert ambulance – a one of its kind service — was launched on Monday at the Arab Health 2022.
In the Gulf, many accidents happen in the desert due to extreme sports or lapse of judgment, or unfamiliarity of the area. With this ambulance accessing such challenging terrains will become easier and faster. The driver ambulance is also specially trained as it’s a 4X4 and it takes a different set of skills to safely manoeuvre the dunes.
It can go to the desert or mountains where normal ambulances find it difficult to access which can sometimes lead to critical time being wasted. The vehicle can carry seven patients at a time and is also equipped with WiFi and live camera to relay the patient’s condition in advance to a hospital.
