Discovery Ambulance Services (DAS) makes big splash in Zimbabwe market

Discovery Ambulance Services (DAS), a new player in the market that is integrating emergency access and urgent care in Zimbabwe, has made its presence known with dozens of new ambulances equipped with the latest life-saving equipment.

The service is the brainchild of couple David and Chantelle Munowenyu who say they were inspired to invest by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large, Uebert Angel.

Available via subscriptions for as low as $5 per month for adults and $2 per month for those under 18, the service also extends coverage to additional dependents, including the parents of their customers.

One standout feature from DAS is that “if a person is over 65 there is no fee to pay.” This has been dubbed the “ED MNANGAGWA & DISCOVERY AMBULANCES COVER FOR SENIOR CITIZENS PROGRAMME”.

DAS is also targeting people in the Diaspora, offering them the opportunity to provide emergency medical care for their loved ones back home.

On their website, the service says its “striving to ensure patients receive the right response, in the right place, at the right time. We want to provide our patients with the highest quality care and contribute towards Zimbabweans having health outcomes.

“Our fleet has the latest life-saving equipment and is operated by highly skilled personnel. Call our emergency number on 991 (Zimbabwe only) for an immediate response and rapid service.”

The accredited company (Registration Number: 22353/2023) vowed to “provide affordable emergency medical services in every corner of the country,” to “individual communities residing in both urban and rural locations.”

“Setting a new healthcare paradigm, we work tirelessly to ensure no life succumbs in the face of a medical crisis due to a lack of timely and affordable emergency medical care. We are always present when and where life matters.

“Carrying forward our legacy, we plan to revamp Zimbabwe’s emergency medical care by delivering affordable, efficient, and accessible services.

“Every second is courts and every life matters in medical world; that’s why we serve as a beacon, saving lives with our prompt and effective response,” DAS vowed.
