The East Anglian Air Ambulance Pledges Support to Flying Doctors Nigeria
"I grew up in Lowestoft and even though I was born in London, I spent most of my childhood in beautiful East Anglia, I wanted East Anglia involved in the project because it’s part of my heritage" says the Dr Ola Orekunrin, Managing Director of West Africa’s first Flying Doctors service.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance is a 365 day-a-year life-saving service across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk and Suffolk.
The charity is independent of government and National Lottery funding and is entirely dependent on fund-raising and contributions. To keep its two air ambulances flying and to provide the advanced medical equipment they carry over £3 million per year has to be raised.
On average the EAAA are called to four incidents a day, life threatening situations such as road traffic accidents, incidents involving people in inaccessible places, cardiac arrests. Because of the advanced skills, drugs and equipment found on board, and being able to access places impossible for a land ambulance, the EAAA can make the difference.
Through working with them , I’ll be able to promote this brand on a world-wide scale .
In turn, Flying Doctors Nigeria has the support and advice of a world-class air ambulance service, which stands us in good stead, whilst we continue to develop protocols for air ambulance transport and critical care in Nigeria.
