The National Ambulance Service in the Upper Denkyira West District has appealed to residents, philanthropists and the District Assembly for financial support to repair its only operational ambulance, which is currently grounded.
Mr Jeremiah Ofori Acquah, Officer in Charge of the Service in the district, said the vehicle had developed injector-related faults, with replacement parts estimated to cost GH¢8,500.
Speaking on Denkyiraman Radio’s National Agenda, he said the situation had become a major concern because the ambulance serves as the main emergency transport facility for patients in both the Upper Denkyira West and Upper Denkyira East districts.
He explained that the challenge had been compounded by the prolonged breakdown of the ambulance serving Upper Denkyira East, which had reportedly been out of service for more than one and a half years due to engine failure.
Mr Acquah therefore appealed for urgent public support to facilitate the repair of the vehicle and restore emergency ambulance services to residents across the two districts.
