Bambulance Process Design

Introducing the Bambulance, the first Bamboo Emercency Medical Transportation Device.

Every day in Africa and the developing world, thousands of people suffering from HIV/AIDS, malaria and other serious illnesses and injuries, die because they have no access to emergency and general healthcare services. The difference between life and death often comes down to a pair of wheels.

Bambulance is a low-cost, practical and sustainable solution to this medical transportation crisis.
Soon, life-saving medical care will be only a bike-ride away.
