"text": "International Day of Medical Transporters recognizes medical transporters, who provide a link between people and healthcare, and sometimes are the providers of healthcare themselves. Medical transporters may be ambulance drivers, who transport those involved in accidents or who have emergency medical conditions, or they may be drivers of medical vehicles who take patients to appointments. The history of medical transporters dates to World War I when field ambulance drivers in the Royal Army Medical Corps treated and transported soldiers in Europe. Medical transporters have continued to provide an essential role in healthcare since, and are recognized and celebrated today with the International Day of Medical Transporters!",
