Great Inventors:

The concept of ambulance service started in Europe with the Knights of St John, at
the same time it had also become common practice for small rewards to be paid to
soldiers who carried the wounded bodies of other soldiers in for medical
treatment.

The Surgeon-in-Chief of the French Grand Army, "Baron Dominiquie Larrey"


created the first official army medical corp. in 1792. Trained attendants with
equipment moved out from the field hospitals to give first-aid to the wounded on
the battlefield and/or carried them back by stretcher, hand-carts and wagons to
the field hospitals.

Motorized ambulance vehicles have been in use since the beginning of the 20th
century. In the 1950s the United States pioneered helicopter-ambulances during
the Korean War. In 1968, St Vincent's Hospital in New York City started the first
mobile coronary care unit.
