Today, there are many different ambulance types to fit the everyday needs of first responders. However, the earliest known patient transport goes back to the middle ages, when those infected with leprosy were forcibly removed from their homes. The word “ambulance” stems from the Latin “ambulare,” which means to walk or move around. This refers to lifting or moving a patient, originally referring to the movable hospital that would follow an army to be easily set up and taken down.
