In Dubai they are converting buses into ambulances, now that’s one huge ambulance but with the size, it has to have everything onboard you could think of or want. Mercedes-Benz is doing the converting. It appears that it could almost be an emergency outpatient facility on wheels, just perhaps not moving though if minor surgery is being performed. ...
