Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, has commenced negotiations with Europe’s leading Aerospace Corporation, Airbus, to procure new emergency care helicopters.
A statement from the National Emergency Medical Services and Ambulance System (NEMSAS) office yesterday said the move followed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval.
The new emergency care helicopters are part of Nigeria’s new Integrated National Ground-To-Air Health Emergency Management System.
The statement said the coordinating minister also inspected an Airbus emergency care helicopter at a French Government-supported Air Ambulance facility in Lyon, France, where he briefed Nigerians on the development.
