AmbuFast, a technology-driven emergency ambulance service and an initiative of SafeCare24/7 Medical Services Limited, has announced the appointment of prominent industrialist and corporate leader Mr. Rubel Aziz as its Chairman. Alongside assuming the leadership role, Mr. Aziz has also invested in the company as a shareholder, marking a significant development in Bangladesh’s emergency medical and ambulance service sector.
Mr. Rubel Aziz currently serves as Vice Chairman of The City Bank PLC and Chairman of its Executive Committee. He previously held the position of Chairman of The City Bank PLC. In addition, he is the Managing Director of Partex Group, one of the country’s largest and most diversified conglomerates.

AmbuFast aims to ensure fast, reliable, and affordable emergency medical services through a fully integrated, technology-based platform. Its vision is to establish a nationwide digital emergency healthcare network that serves both urban and rural populations.
As part of this mission, AmbuFast is set to officially launch its mobile application in January. The app will enable users to locate nearby ambulances, make instant bookings, track vehicles in real time, and access emergency support. The platform will also help ambulance owners and drivers modernize and streamline their operations.
Beyond being an ambulance service, AmbuFast positions itself as a humanitarian initiative.
