Politics of Tuesday, 5 May 2020Source: Peace FM307 ambulance ventilators cannot be better response to coronavirus - Kwesi Pratt tells govtEditor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt JnrSeasoned Journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, wants the current administration to stop priding itself that it has been able to acquire 307 ambulances equipped with ventilators for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in severe conditions. According to Mr. Pratt, the purpose of the mobile ventilators is to augment the work of the Ambulance Services in the country and not to be used as supplementary ventilators for COVID-19 patients in hospitals. Addressing the issue on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 edition of the same programme (Kokrokoo), Kwesi Pratt, who is the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that arguments about the availability of mobile ventilators are baseless because ambulance ventilators cannot be comparable to having ventilators in hospitals. It is good to have over 300 ambulances with ventilators but it's not the response to COVID-19," he emphasized. Send your news stories to and via WhatsApp on +233 55 2699 625.
