President Nana Akufo-Addo has assured that the government is committed to
improving the quality of health provisions and putting in place various
measures to make the dream a reality.
The President was, however, not happy with the position of the media, which presupposes that
the government was reneging on the promises to improve healthcare delivery during
the elections.
Speaking at a ceremony to inaugurate 48 ambulances in Accra on Friday, the
President said: “While Government is doing its utmost to improve on the healthcare
situation, our media landscape is replete with reportage of professional negligence.”
The ambulances arrived in Accra on Thursday and constitute the first batch of 300
ambulances, which are being imported in fulfillment of the President’s campaign
promise.
President Akufo-Addo said the rest of the vehicles are expected to arrive in the
country next month for onward distribution to hospitals in every constituency.
Ghana has 275 political constituencies without ambulance services, which had in the
past affected the residents who needed emergency health services.
