Manufacturing the Donkey Cart and Ambulance

Practical Action has also been helping with the development of the donkey cart ambulance and has worked with manufacturers in both North Darfur and Damazin. Many people living in rural areas find it very difficult to access health centers or hospitals when they are ill. It is hoped that the donkey cart ambulance can act as a means of safe transport to these facilities when no motorized vehicles are available. This manual aims to give useful information to local fabricators and organizations that support them to help them make these intermediate means of transport. Although we have tried to give accurate information there is more than one way of making some of these components and their dimensions may need to change depending on what is available in the local markets.
