To cut down emergency wait times on major roads, the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe is working with Discovery Ambulance Services. They are putting ambulances at known accident hotspots across the country. These ambulances will provide free transport for anyone involved in a crash. The CEO of the council, Munesu Munodawafa, mentioned locations like Wedza, Beitbridge, Chiredzi, and a spot called 22 Miles. High-frequency areas such as Makuti in Karoi and Connemara in the Midlands will have dedicated vehicles ready.
David Munowenyu, who runs Discovery Ambulance Services, explained the plan further. Ambulances will be placed roughly every hundred kilometers along highways. The goal is to have medical help nearby, no matter how far someone is from a city, adhering to the critical "golden hour" after an injury. People can call the toll-free number 991 to summon these free ambulances. Munowenyu stated this partnership with the government shows a shared mission to improve emergency response and save lives, aiming for safety during busy travel periods and all year round.
