Abstract

A historical journey is presented from the transfer of the wounded in rudimentary stretchers, passing to horse-drawn vehicles, the first motorized ambulances, up to modern air ambulances with their extensive technological capacity. Likewise, the journey of Dr. Enrique Tejera is briefly narrated, from his work as an ambulance driver during World War II, to being the creator of the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance in Venezuela, becoming its first minister in such a charge.
