Worldwide Motorcycle Ambulances: (5) Kenya: As part of the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) wider 50 million country programme (2009), they are putting in place among other things a new motorcycle ambulance service. The Magunga's Health Centre now operates a motorcycle (sidecar) ambulance service. Sarah Brown, Global Patron of the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood said: This is yet another great example of Britain leading the way in saving mothers lives. For a long time the world has known what needs to be done to reduce the numbers of women dying in pregnancy and childbirth and yet the same numbers of women continue to die. The key to changing the survival chances of mothers and infants is better investment in health services that vulnerable women can reach. DFID's aid money makes a massive difference because it means countries can invest in facilities and health workers and simple but vital things like motorbike ambulances which can often mean the difference between life or death for women who live a long way from a clinic
