Well going for the longest, biggest or largest tag is what Dubai does sometimes it seems for stupid and pointless reasons. Well that could well be about to change, the latest biggest record Dubai is vying for is the longest Ambulance. The record has not been offically verified but who cares?

The world’s longest ambulance is 18 meters (59 feet) and can hold up to 44 patients at the same time, according to Khalifa bin Darri, head of the Dubai Ambulance Center (DAC).

The ambulance has a helicopter landing pad on it’s roof and as well as internet and satellite facilities for the doctors. With state-of-the-art operating rooms, an intensive care unit, a radiography room and an integrated pharmacy, the ambulance is more like a mobile hospital.

“The ambulance will be a mobile hospital that immediately goes to the accident scene and rescues a large number of the injured who will get treatment inside till they are transferred to the hospital,” said Darri.

Although this may seem overkill for some , the fact is with the services offered on the ambulance it could mean that many patients don’t even need to go to hospital at all.   I guess it could come in use for large incidents and the like.
