Mazbahul Islam: Meeting Rural Bangladeshis Where They Are, With an Ambulance

Mazbahul: In Bangladesh, 105 million people are residing in 68,000 villages. In those 68,000 villages, only 1200 ambulances are available for the 105 million people. That being the case, there is only 1 ambulance obtainable for 88,000 people. As a further scenario, among those 1200 ambulances, below 7% of them have paramedics to assist the patient in time of emergency. It is even uncertain whether those ambulances, regardless of having a paramedic or not, operate properly or not.
