President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Tuesday commissioned and distributed the 307 ambulances recently procured to help augment operations of the National Ambulance Service (NAS).
The programme is under the Ministry of Special Development Initiative christened, “One Constituency, One Ambulance”.
President Akufo-Addo said a National Ambulance and Service Bill which identifies the funding sources of the National Ambulance Service (NAS) was being worked on and will soon be forwarded to Cabinet for consideration.
He said the government has provided a digitized state of the art ambulance dispatch management system integrated with national digital addressing system where all emergency calls will automatically generate the address to enable the control centre to determine the nearest ambulance to dispatch and also allow the ambulance to identify easily any health care facility suitable for the emergency.
