“So, I’m currently sitting inside my primary healthcare Aboboya,” she said excitedly.

In the video, she shows her new “free primary healthcare tricycle,” admiring features such as a fan, fire extinguisher, vaccine cooler, radio, and reverse camera.

The tricycles are expected to help health workers transport patients, deliver medicines, and conduct community outreach more efficiently, especially in areas with poor road networks.

“It has a fire extinguisher. It has a camera, in case we are going back…reverse. It has a pendrive, a cooling fan, etc. As I’m in this vehicle, I’m not sweating. I’m really enjoying this newly equipped tricycle,” she exclaimed.

The tricycle is expected to make things easier for nurses who previously walked long distances or relied on commercial motorbikes to reach patients.

The Tolon District nurse in the video praised the initiative, noting that logistics remain a major challenge for CHPS Compounds serving remote populations.
