Inaugurating the ambulances, Alonge said that they would go a long way in complementing care of the aged at the geriatric centre.
“These two ambulances would complement the two tricycles which had been in used in commuting patients from the centre to and from the main gate to ease their transportation.
“They would also be used to pick up patients whose wards could not afford to bring their parents to the clinic at UCH at designated pick-up points in Ibadan,” he said.
The CMD further said that each ambulance, which costs N10 million, has capacity to seat 16 and 10 patients, respectively.
He said both ambulances have hydrolic facilities to lift patients in wheel chairs from the ground into the vehicle.
