To reduce the number of deaths caused by the delay in access to healthcare services, the federal government has announced plans to introduce the National Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance System.
This will provide prompt and efficient emergency medical services to the people, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, said at the dissemination of the Nigeria Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child Adolescent and Elderly Health Plus Nutrition (RMNCAEH+N), 2021 Annual Operation Plan in Abuja on Tuesday.
Currently in Nigeria, ambulance services are executed by individual hospitals (public and private) as well as organisations and agencies.
According to Mr Ehanire, elimination of delays in access to healthcare can indeed reduce the high mortality rates recorded in the country.

LGBT+ Conservatives are being urged to use their weight in parliament to demand that Boris Johnson deliver on his long-awaited pledge to ban conversion therapy.
The traumatising practise of conversion therapy is still legal in the UK despite the government pledging to eradicate it over two and a half years ago.
As the prime minister continues to drag his heels, the Peter Tatchell Foundation is calling on queer Tories to stand up for their community and demand a ban.
“We believe that an appeal to Boris Johnson from LGBT+ Conservative MPs is likely to have the strongest influence. Their support will, hopefully, help encourage the prime minister to end the ceaseless delays and bring forward legislation,” Tatchell explained.
The @Ed Authority must remove Nelson McCausland as a board member with immediate effect. Do they condone one of its members advocating conversion therapy?
Is Nelson McCausland still a member of @duponline? If so, what do they have to say about this? pic.twitter.com/RFuBFK23rm
It is ridiculous that this man still continues to have any kind of public position. But to actually be involved in making decisions to do with our children s education is unbelievable. He must go.
