This, ladies and gentle men was our clinic ambulance. A pickup truck with a flashy light and a big "A". We didnt really cary any medications in the ambulance with us. It didnt have any special devices in there. Not even O2 or IVs. But it did have superb 4 wheel drive and could get to the hospital no matter what the conditions on the dirt roads might be. Any medical supplies we needed would be in the clinic and we would take only what was needed by that specific patient. The African sun would bake any drugs left in the ambulace and render them useless.
