Nigeria to save billions through investment in air ambulance services

Air ambulance services have been described as the enabler that would improve Nigeria’s healthcare, by improving access to hospitals and saving the government many billions of dollars.
This was disclosed by Founder, Flying Doctors, Nigeria, Dr. Ola Brown who said the sector could be helped by concentrating expert resources which also help to reduce healthcare spending.
She lamented the high cost of healthcare in the country, saying the Federal government does not have enough money to place centres of medical excellence in every single state.
She said, if there cannot be a centre of medical excellence in every state, then Nigeria needs to develop its air ambulance infrastructure led by companies such as the Flying Doctors Nigeria Air Ambulance service, to ensure that patients can access healthcare.
The Flying Doctors, Nigeria, has developed a cost-effective, commercial air ambulance solution that allows patients to be transported by air for less than the price of a ground ambulance. This cost pales in comparison to the cost of developing multiple hospitals which would be financially impossible to staff/equip and run on their current budget.
