Ghana's Tricycle Ambulances by Moving Health Revolutionize Rural Healthcare
Moving Health, a nonprofit organization, has developed a fleet of motorcycle-powered tricycle ambulances to improve healthcare access in rural Ghana. These ambulances, costing around $7,000 each, are equipped with stretchers, oxygen, and emergency birthing kits. They have significantly reduced transport times for pregnant women and other patients in remote areas, where conventional ambulances are scarce. The initiative, which began as a project at MIT, has expanded to include 31 ambulances serving over 230,000 people. Moving Health plans to scale this model across Ghana and potentially other sub-Saharan African countries.
