Description
In Nigeria’s traffic jam-plagued economic capital of Lagos the population of roughly 20 million relies on only around 100 ambulances. This can lead to waits that can be deadly. Around a third of the mega-city's ambulances are state-run, the rest are operated by private firms, such as Eight Medical. Ibukun Tunde-Oni launched Eight Medical after the deaths of two uncles including one who died in an ambulance. “I decided within myself to turn all this pain and all this problem into a platform,” he says.
