Emergency Services personnel met with dignitaries who work for the Medical Team for President Umaru Yar’Adua and the State House of Nigeria on June 6th.

The Nigerian delegation was in the United States looking at ambulances they had purchased from AEV, a vendor also used by Guilford County. While in the US, the group wanted to visit with EMS providers in order to review state of the art American emergency services operations.

The group was very impressed with the formal protocols, training and operations utilized by Emergency Services and took several sample documents and checklist with them. Additionally, they were amazed at the technology and medical equipment available, commenting that they would like to duplicate Guilford County’s specification on their next order.

ES personnel provided an invitation for additional personnel to return to Guilford County for extended learning opportunities. The group included Senior Ambulance Driver Ali Sabo, Nurse Midwife Dige Mamman, Dr. Obilade, and Intensive Care Nurse Sanusi Sani.
