Neonatal ambulance hits ground in Honduras
After five years of collaboration and production, the neonatal transport ambulance designed by RIT’s Hope for Honduras team has hit the ground in Honduras. The ambulance will help save countless young lives by greatly enhancing medical access to neonatal care for those living in rural areas of the country.
The ambulance is equipped with lifesaving medical equipment and is designed to travel both the roads and the terrain of Honduras. Created through a collaboration between Rochester Institute of Technology, Hospital Escuela, the Honduran Red Cross, Global Medical Response, and others, the vehicle will be donated to the Honduran Red Cross. The Honduran Red Cross will operate the ambulance and serve the community in the capital city of Tegucigalpa and the surrounding region, providing transportation to the newborn service in Hospital Escuela.
