"The main problem is that so far we have not yet been vaccinated as private ambulances owners. We are in the dark about this. There is an EMS regulation which is regulating all private ambulances.


“We need to be regulated but we need to be included in structures so we feel like we are not being included."  


Nduli says a memorandum will be handed over.
