Design Indaba Global Graduate, Mazbahul Islam, presents his project, Safewheel, which was designed to address a critical gap in rural healthcare in Banglasdesh, limited access to medical care when needed the most . In regions where ambulances are scarce or unaffordable, delays in reaching medical care can be fatal. Safewheel reimagines the ambulance as a lightweight, three-wheeled vehicle capable of navigating narrow, uneven rural roads. Affordable, locally operated and fast, it brings emergency response directly to communities often excluded from formal healthcare systems. Safewheels is able to deliver medical supplies to remote areas as well as transport people to hospitals when needed.
