Wassa-Akropong(W/R), Nov. 28, GNA - Madam Doris
Oduro, Wassa Amenfi East District Chief Executive on
Monday presented a mini bus ambulance to the

The ambulance fitted with lifesaving equipment was a

Government.
Presenting the keys to the ambulance, Madam Oduro
called on the hospital authorities to take good care
of the facilities and equipment to ensure the people
derived maximum benefits from them.
She reiterated Government's commitment to enhance
good governance, private sector and human resource
development, and improved health care delivery for
the people.
Dr Fredrick Yaw Sarpong, Medical Superintendent in
charge of the hospital, receiving the keys said two
drivers and a nurse had been trained to use the
ambulance to prolong its life span.
He said presentation of the ambulance to the
hospital was timely and would be used strictly for
the intended purpose including provision of first
aid to accident victims and conveying them to the
hospital.
Dr Sarpong told the Ghana News Agency that the
ambulance was the first of its kind to be provided
to the hospital since it was upgraded from a health
centre in 1999.
