He explained that the management system will enable the allocation of calls to specific ambulances and will be aligned with the Digital Addressing System. “By next month, all the 307 ambulances as a whole will arrive, but we’re making sure to have an Ambulance Management System to manage these ambulances, so every ambulance is going to be uniquely tracked, so wherever it is across the country, we [government] will know,” he disclosed. Already, government has taken delivery of 98 of the 307 ambulances which the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, while presenting the 2020 Budget Statement and Economic Policy in Parliament on Wednesday indicated would be distributed to the various districts nationwide. Currently, Ghana can boast of only 55 ambulances, most of which are in poor conditions.
