Government refuses to distribute ambulances to save lives

Government has refused to distribute ambulances badly needed to save lives of patients. The government procured the first batch of ambulances numbering 96 for distribution to all 275 constituencies.

But the ambulances have been parked at the State House premises in Accra despite intense protest from the opposition, CSOs and concerned citizens.

This has sparked anger among citizens who have initiated several social media campaigns to express their disgust at government’s action.
