Transport training for Uganda - May 2008
Posted: 30 June 2008
The UK based NGO, Transaid is providing vital training to St John Association’s in Africa, to help them manage their ambulance fleets with the ultimate aim of improving the levels of service they can offer to their local communities. Following successful training in St John Zambia Transaid went to St John Uganda in May 2008.
Transaid conducted a training session for 6 staff which covered the need for a comprehensive transport policy; the financial cost of running ambulances; and key performance indicators of efficient transport.
St John Uganda’s National Executive, Christine Nandyose Kasirye said “Thank you Transaid. Following today’s
training not only can we calculate the precise costs associated with our
ambulance service, but we can work to ensure optimum utilization of our
vehicles, reduce our running costs and pass all these benefits onto the
citizens of Kampala whom we serve. We are looking forward to using our new
knowledge to improve the level of service we can provide as our vehicles will
be more cost effective and as such more accessible to the urban poor who
require our assistance.”
Transaid
