The ambulance was funded by the Sir Brian Bell Foundation in partnership with the Kumura Foundation.
Over 4,000 people from all over Bundi and Simbu, including Jimi, gathered at Snow Pass to witness what would be a major leap in the provision of basic healthcare services in this remote part of the Central Bismarck Range.
Upper Bundi has never had an ambulance to transport the critically ill and injured to hospital. Hence, many have died from basic treatable diseases.
