Follow up project bicycle ambulances in Uganda
28 June 2009
Early 2009 FABIO gave out the first bicycle ambulances in Katakwi district (for more details: Bicycle ambulances in Katakwi 2008 - 2009). These bicycle ambulances are saving lifes each week. But many villages are still very remote and have poor access to good health care. In cooperation with ITDP Europe, Cycling out of poverty is raising funds to make it possible for our local partnerorganisation FABIO to give out 50 more bicycle ambulances in this area. With the assistance of more bicycle ambulances in this area these villages can also improve their access to the medical care, aiming to reduce child mortality and maternal mortality. The bicycle alone will improve the mobility of health workers to visit patients more often. This will result in more people being vaccinated and an improvement of HIV/AIDS information.
