In some remote areas of the African continent, hospitals can be up to three hours away by car, and there are only a few dozen ambulances for thousands, or even millions, of people.
ABBRACCIO facilitates medical transport for patients through a strategy focused on meeting the needs of the poorest. Despite its merits, this initiative raises a question. If people in rural areas do not have easy access to healthcare, how can they contact an ambulance service?
Many remote villages in Benin are not served by roads suitable for cars or trucks. For this reason, motorcycle ambulances—equipped with a trailer—have become indispensable for villagers needing to get to the hospital in case of an emergency or for critical care. This innovative project will help address virtually all emergencies in the area.
Pregnant women are among the target beneficiaries of this strategy, in regions where childbirth still too often results in the death of both mother and child.
In 2026, ABBRACCIO plans to make new investments to better meet the needs of all hospitals that use our services to transport premature infants, sick children, and pregnant women who require care in Sokponta
