| Orekunrin , 28-year-old medical doctor founded an air ambulance service,the first in Nigeria.... British-Nigerian doctor, Dr. Olamide Orekunrin, and founder, Flying Doctors Nigeria Ltd., an emergency air ambulance service, has been recognised as one of Times’s 2016 Next Generation Leaders.The 28-year-old who established the first medical emergency rescue services featured on the millennial list released by Times on Sunday. |
Orekunrin was honoured for providing an innovative medical service that
has helped save many lives in a country with poor road and telecommunication
infrastructure .
It stated that the company’s essential
service has helped in airlifting patients in critical conditions from remote
areas to hospitals within and outside
Nigeria.
Others on the Time’s 2016 Next Generation Leaders list are Rwandan Conservationist, Olivier Nsengimani;Olympic Gymnast, 19-year-old Simone Biles.
I'm always inspired by the success stories of young people like me. I celebrate a great woman, Orekunrin, who started an air ambulance service to address a basic problem that led to the death of her 12 -year- old sister in an emergency situation in Nigeria.
Her story touches on the fact that there is a problem near you that your skill can address.
Break the rules, blaze the trail.
