EAMS (Nigeria) combines the latest technologies to provide its teams with the relevant tools they need to deliver patient care. With the rapid pace in technological evolution, it is critical that EAMS (Nigeria) teams are equipped with the right tools.

EAMS (Nigeria) provides industry-leading technology and management information platforms such as computer-aided dispatch systems. It is understood that technology can make the difference between life and death, which is why EAMS (Nigeria) will continuously invest in state-of-the-art technology and clinical equipment.

EAMS (Nigeria) communications technology will be used to notify the client hospital as soon as a patient has been picked up and is ready to be transported. This translates to better information for hospitals and healthcare facilities, which have a challenging task with managing patient reception and providing immediate treatment on arrival.

The sector normally distinguishes between helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) flights and air ambulance missions. A HEMS flight is a mission carried out by a helicopter operating under a HEMS approval and serves to facilitate emergency medical assistance where immediate and rapid transportation is essential; while air ambulance is a planned evacuation of patient from one destination to another; however, EAMS (Nigeria) will provide a mix of the two services with primary focus on emergency operations for life-threatening cases.
