The assurance follows concerns over the ambulance, which has been out of service for approximately 18 months after it was involved in an accident at Tontro Junction, along the road to Old Tafo, while responding to an emergency call.

The MCE explained that he had been pursuing efforts to secure a replacement ambulance for the municipality. However, following engagements with the Municipal Ambulance Service Director, he was informed that the damaged vehicle was insured and that the insurance company was expected to bear the cost of its repairs.

He indicated that the ambulance could return to service once the necessary repairs and maintenance works were completed.

Mr. Yeboah further assured residents that efforts to acquire an additional ambulance for the municipality would continue to strengthen emergency medical response services.

The prolonged unavailability of the ambulance has raised concerns about emergency healthcare delivery in the municipality, with residents anticipating the timely restoration of the vehicle and the possible acquisition of an additional one to improve access to emergency medical transportation.
