Lagos govt unveils emergency ambulance bikes to beat traffic, save lives.
The Lagos State Government, on Tuesday, unveiled 10 newly acquired Motorcycle Response Unit, MRU, Ambulances, popularly referred to as “Ambulance Bikes”
The bikes were handed over to the Lagos State Ambulance Service, LASAMBUS, in a move aimed at cutting down emergency response times and strengthening pre-hospital care delivery across the state.
The motorcycles, specially fitted with medical equipment, are designed to navigate Lagos’ heavy traffic, narrow inner roads, and other hard-to-reach areas, allowing paramedics to reach victims faster in situations where every second is critical.
Speaking at the official handover ceremony, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Health, Dr Kemi Ogunyemi, described the initiative as a bold step in tackling the peculiar challenges of emergency care in a mega city like Lagos.
“These Ambu-bikes are Lagos’ response to our unique traffic situation. They will reach patients faster than conventional ambulances, deliver immediate treatment, and, where necessary, call in larger ambulance units for evacuation.
“This saves precious time and ultimately saves more lives,” Ogunyemi said.
She explained that each of the 220cc superbikes is equipped with vital life-saving tools, including sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, pulse oximeters, nebulizer machines, glucometers, automated external defibrillators, AEDs, oxygen kits, radios, sirens, and specialized protective gear for the riders.
According to her, trained paramedics will man the units, delivering first aid and basic life support in cases such as collapses, bleeding, or respiratory distress, pending the arrival of full-scale ambulances.
