In this episode, we investigate the fragmented state of emergency medical response — why so many victims are transported by commercial drivers and motorcycles instead of ambulances, what the "golden hour" really means when the system is absent, and how many deaths could be prevented with faster, coordinated emergency care.Drawing on WHO data and Federal Road Safety Corps statistics, this is a conversation about infrastructure, policy, and the value placed on human life in moments of crisis.Vital Signs Podcast — evidence-based conversations on health in Nigeria and Africa.#VitalSignsPodcast #NigeriaHealthcare #EmergencyResponse #GoldenHour #AfricaHealth #TraumaCare #PublicHealthAfrica #NigerianPodcast #FRSC #RoadSafetyNigeria #HealthcareNigeria #EmergencyMedicine #PreHospitalCare #NigeriaHealth #AfricaHealthcare
