The tricycle,popularly called Motor-King in the Upper East Region, would help in internal referrals and serve as an alternative for the district ambulance whenever the need arises.

Mr. Awentok said:“Even though it’s not comfortable carrying pregnant women in the Motor-King ambulance due to the bad state of the road, it serves as an alternative when the National Ambulance is unavailable, and we appeal to the Government and well-meaning Ghanaians to come to our aid.”

Mr. Awentok said the Zanlerigu health facility was upgraded from a Community-Based Health Planning Service (CHPS) to a Health Centre and was in dire need of an ambulance to aid internal referrals.
