The Regional Airports Company Ltd. announced it has acquired an ambulance buggy equipped with a gurney bed for Maavarulu Airport in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll to improve the safety and comfort of passengers needing medical assistance. The airport, opened on 4 July 2020 on an uninhabited island, previously had to transport such passengers on a small pickup truck.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Maavarulu Airport, which opened its doors on 4 July 2020, is situated on an uninhabited island, separate from other populated islands in the atoll, making the use of ambulances operated by healthcare centres on inhabited islands impossible.

The operation of the ambulance buggy will significantly improve the safety of patients who need to be carried to and from aircraft. It will also expedite the transport of such patients.
