16.Ola Orekunrin is the founder and managing director of the for-profit company,Flying Doctors Nigeria Ltd.,the first emergency air ambulance service in the country.In Nigeria,where road conditions can be poor,and rural clinics are often unprepared to deal with major medical emergencies,Flying Doctors has become a lifesaver,airlifting patients from remote areas to hospitals,and providing care on the way.
London-born Orekunrin was inspired to set up the company after her 12-year-old sister died.When she was still in medical school in the UK,her sister was on holiday in Nigeria and unexpectedly needed emergency treatment.The nearest clinic wasn't able to treat her.The family tried to find an air ambulance to move her to an appropriate facility,but the quickest-available service was far away in South Africa.Her sister had died by the time a flight become available.
"I was filled with deep sadness and almost anger,"Orekunrin says."I wanted to come to Nigeria and try to contribute in some way."
After studying other models of emergency air ambulance in the UK and other parts of Africa,Orekunrin knew it would be the most effective way to help patients access to the proper facilities in a large area that is often difficult to travel by car.
But getting Flying Doctors off the ground wasn't easy.Orekunrin began by renting aircraft as a way to keep costs down.She then established partnerships with hospitals across Africa and abroad and started her company nearly five years ago.The company now has 20helicopters and jets and a staff that includes seven senior flight physicians.
Orkunrin has also worked toward improving medical care acoss Nigeria.Flying Doctors now provides scholarships to medical students and has established partnerships with rural non-governmental organizations,such as the Starlite Hopes Initiative,in Nigeria's Delta State,which offers care to the poor.
Orekunrin hopes to keep finding new ways to improve medical service in Nigeria.The young doctor knows there are challenges ahead,but as she's always shown,even the sky is not the limit.
