Underpinning its ongoing commitment to improve the quality of life of local communities, MRM donated an ambulance to Namanhumbir Health Centre to transport patients from 20 local villages to the clinic.
The ambulance provides a much-needed solution to one of the biggest challenges faced by the 30,000 inhabitants of the 20 villages – accessing the only health centre in the area.
The donation follows feedback from the community as a whole, but especially from pregnant women who often had to give birth in their own homes or on the way to the clinic, due to a lack of access to transport.
The ambulance will also enable the health centre to transfer patients from Namanhumbir to specialised units in other hospitals.
