eRanger ambulance based on motorbike and sidecar designed for challenging terrains, made by The Ranger Production Company, King William’s Town, South Africa, 2000-2009
In 1997, Mike Norman was inspired to develop the eRanger motorbike ambulance after watching a charity programme about 4x4 motor vehicles in Africa. After 2 years of development Mike Norman won the Worldaware Shell Technology Award for Development. The enterprise is sponsored by Nelson Mandela and the Saudi Royal family. The eRanger is based on a motorbike and sidecar and can be used on a wide variety of terrains at speeds similar to a 4 wheel drive without compromising the safety of either the rider or the passenger.
Motorbike ambulances are used to provide transport to and from local health centres as well as providing transport to remote areas. Patients can be transported either in a prone position or sitting upright. The ambulance was aimed mostly at expectant mothers, complications related to pregnancy and birth, or emergency transfer to higher level medical services. The service is free and it is hoped that each ambulance would have a catchment range of 15-30 km giving population coverage to 35,000 people. It is also hoped that the eRangers would increase awareness and take up of formal medical services. Today, the ambulances are in use in Sierra Leone, Liberia, southern Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Uganda. Some are targeted at Safe Motherhood programmes and other maternal health programmes backed by UNICEF and the UN. The eRangers have been manufactured in King William’s Town, South Africa, providing local employment since 2006.
