“The interior of the state of the art ambulances recently commissioned and distributed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo can give life back to a dying patient”, these were the exact words of Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs.
He said the procurement and importation of the ambulances into the country is not only gratifying but will go a long way to save lives as well improve healthcare delivery in the country.
Speaking on a local radio station monitored by Ghanawish.com the Educated Fisherman as he prefers to be called praised successive governments for also importing ambulances but admitted that those of the current President tops them all.
“We all should face facts if you look at the inside and see the equipment and colour design it looks very attractive. If you are at the point of death, the colours in the ambulance can give you the vim to survive. The inside is great”, he observed.
“All those ambulances that were brought into the country from the Kufuor to Mahama regimes must be added to the current fleet. If they is the need to retool them, they should so we carve a new ambulance system. It would be prudent for the government to supply them ambulances to the Regional and Teaching Hospitals”, he appealed.
