The ambulances being assembled to be shipped to Ghana. 48 of them are already in.<\/strong><\/p>\nPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
\nhas said the 300 ambulances he promised during the 2016 campaign to be
\ndelivered to every constituency have started arriving in the country.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the induction of some 378
\nnewly trained medical doctors in Accra yesterday, the President said the first
\nbatch of 48 ambulances is already in the country, and the rest are expected to
\nfollow next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first batch of 48 ambulances out of
\nthe 300 procured by my government for distribution for each of the 275
\nconstituencies i.e one constituency, one ambulance, and to the National
\nAmbulance Service has arrived in the country, with the second batch due in
\nGhana by the first week in October. By the end of this year, they will all be
\nin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The President was concerned that doctors
\ncontinue to reject postings to rural areas and said it is affecting quality
\nhealthcare delivery in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur medical schools have got a good
\nreputation and have been training good doctors and dentists. However, the
\ndoctor dentist population ratio in our country remains very unsatisfactory
\nafter 62 years of nation in our regions, districts and deprived communities,
\nespecially for the newly created regions and districts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The induction of new medical doctors was held in honour of Dr. Emmanuel Evans-Anfom, the second Chairman of the Medical and Dental Council (M & DC) of Ghana (from 1979-1984), a man the council described as \u2018a patriot and an icon of the medical profession.\u2019<\/p>\n
The President encouraged newly inducted
\ndoctors to follow the exemplary life of Dr. Evans-Anfom and accept postings to deprived
\nareas where their services are needed most.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m determined to work to help ensure that these improvements we all want in our lives become reality,\u201d he stressed, insisting that \u201cgovernment is committed to improving access to essential and Quality Health Services through the provision of the necessary health infrastructure, equipment and logistics including the deployment of appropriate technology as part of our drive to attain Universal Health coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n
