OUR SERVICES
4. 3Inspired to save life
As Uganda develops, life style diseases like heart,
respiratory and organ failures correspondingly increase.
There is no organized public or private EMS system in
Uganda.
City Ambulance responds to any medical emergency with
a well-equipped ambulance and trained personnel in the
shortest time possible in order to save life.
Our ambulances operate 24/7, hence capable of
responding to emergencies both day and night.
All the ambulance vehicles are equipped to the highest
standards for rescue services with a scoop stretcher, wheel
chair, two oxygen cylinders, patient monitor, infusion pump,
suction machine, nebulizer, defibrillator, sundries, splints
and self-loading stretchers, while the emergency drugs are
kept in the Doctors bag.
Emergency medical rescue
Today, Uganda has the second highest rate of road
accidents in Africa and the world after Ethiopia. According
to the World Health Organization’s Global Status Report on
Road Safety 2013, Uganda is named among countries with
alarmingly high road accident rates. If such trend of traffic
accidents continues to increase, the health losses from
traffic injuries may be ranked as the second to HIV/AIDS
by 2020. Road Traffic accidents increase as development
increases and so do industrial accidents.

• Movements to and from rehabilitation centers, nursing
homes and palliative care centers.
Planned patient transport services
In addition to the provision of Emergency medical rescue,
City Ambulance provides non-emergency patient transfer
services such as:
• Inter-hospital transfers
• Hospital to Airport and vice versa
• Hospital to home after discharge
• Home to scheduled hospital appointments
• Trips to diagnostic centers
6. 5Inspired to save life
Charges depend on the kind of event, location, duration
and number of ambulances required.
It is prudent that all events with over 300 people should
have a standby ambulance for medical cover. Examples of
events that we cover include the following;
• Sports events
• Conferences
• Churches
• Social events
Events & Conferences Medical support
Events and conference medical support is the provision
of a complete package of medical cover, right from the
planning stage to post-event reporting. We can supply
all your medical requirements, from a single first aider to
a well facilitated mobile clinic, ambulance and medical
personnel.
This offers confidence and a feeling of safety to the
participants and sponsors when an event is going on.

Medical Air Evacuation
This is transfer from one hospital to another for emergency
medical treatment using air ambulance. It could also
be transportation from an area that is inaccessible to a
hospital.
It is important to get a patient to a better hospital or hospital
of choice back home when there is need for ongoing
inpatient care for a serious illness, injury, or other medical
condition.
City Ambulance facilitates and coordinates medical
evacuations and international medical assistance in
association with reputable private airline companies and Air
ambulance service providers.
Airlifting patients can either be domestic or International. We
use both fixed wing aircrafts and helicopters.
8. 7Inspired to save life
City Ambulance offers complete coordination of medical
transportation for the patient with accompanying medical
personnel via ground transport, air ambulance or
commercial airline.
Medical escorts consist of Critical Care Nurses,
Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and
Physicians.
All commercial aircrafts can be used for air medical escort;
aircrafts are equipped with basic life support equipment
and advanced life support. The medical escorting team
carries emergency drugs in addition to all necessary
equipment.
For example an individual who is medically stable
but with the following conditions; cardiopulmonary
complications (post myocardial infarction or pneumonia),
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), fractures, mental health
(Alzheimers or dementia), Motor Vehicle Crash accident
(MVC), post-surgical etc. do require medical escorts.
Medical escorts
Medical escort is a form of medical transportation which
is provided in non-emergency situations to patients who
require special medical attention. The goal of the transport
is to get the client from one location to another while
providing medical support.

Preserve life: the overriding aim of all medical care, including
first aid, is to save life and minimize the threat of death.
Prevent the condition from worsening or danger of further
injury: this covers both external factors, such as moving a
patient away from any cause of harm, and applying first
aid techniques to prevent worsening of the condition such
as applying pressure to stop bleeding from becoming life
threatening.
Promote recovery: first aid also involves trying to start the
recovery process from the illness or injury, and in some
cases might involve completing a treatment, such as in the
case of applying a plaster to a small wound.
First Aid training and supplies
First aid training is imparting knowledge and practical
skills to an individual or group of people in order to ably
assist any person suffering a sudden illness or injury,
with the intent to preserve life, prevent the condition from
worsening, and/or promote recovery.
