Individuals prefer to go to medical services by their personal vehicles. However, older adults experience age-related changes and physical and mental impairment, including cognitive, physical, and sensory function declines, which reduces their ability to drive. Therefore, the use of public transportation increases. Any missed appointments can cause disease progression and limit the patients’ ability to manage their conditions. Thus, the access to transportation for healthcare-related services becomes a critical component for maintaining health and well-being of these adults. The availability of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) offers transportation to receive non-emergency medical appointments (e.g., medical follow-ups, having a prescription filled) on time, access to prescription medications, and facilitating participation in therapy-related sessions. NEMT is cost-effective and cost-saving for preventive care and the treatment of many chronic conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, and mental health, among older adults. Medicaid subsidized NEMT has numerous implications for health, life quality, and medical costs for older adults. Therefore, increase in aging population propel the demand for transportation services, which bolsters the Middle East & Africa non-emergency medical transportation market.
