Big Hearted: Ruparelia Group, Victoria University Donate Ambulance to FMU

The Federation of Motorsport Clubs of Uganda (FMU) has received a Medical Ambulance from Ruparelia Foundation and Victoria University to help them facilitate their activities.

The Federation received the state of the art ambulance as a donation from Victoria University under Ruparelia Foundation in an event held at Kabira County Club on Tuesday.

The ambulance is registered in FMU

The rally, mostly, goes through a living environment that puts the lives of the drivers and spectators at stake.

“This is a huge milestone and a great achievement for the Sport and the fraternity as a whole,” said FMU President Dipu Ruparelia.

“Despite the challenges we have faced since we came into administration, this is the start of one of many assets we have acquired and is very critical in helping our medical commission in emergency evacuations.

“The Federation is on the right path, this launch and partnership is just one of many we will be rolling out soon. FMU will be one of the leading Federations very soon if we continue this way and keep carrying positive energies.”

According to motorists Ambrose Byonna, many motorists get accidents during the races and in most cases, they have been borrowing ambulances from Red Cross.

“We shall continue to work closely with FMU and Motorsport fraternity to improve the safety of all the actors in the Sport.”
