马拉维乡村的脚踏救护车
In the remote villages of Malawi, a health emergency can feel like a death sentence. Dirt roads become impassable during the rainy season, and the nearest clinic may be a two-hour walk away. For pregnant women in labor, a child with a high fever, or an accident victim, every minute counts.
A simple but powerful solution has emerged: the bicycle ambulance. These are not ordinary bikes. They feature a sturdy stretcher attached to two wheels, pulled by a cyclist and pushed by a second person. Built by local welders from scrap metal, they cost about $250 each.
