General News of Monday, 6 January 2020Source: adomonline.comAkufo-Addo was misled over commissioning of ambulances – Dr AnabaPresident of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-AddoExecutive Director of health policy think tank, the Africa Center for Health Policy, Research and Analysis, Dr Thomas Anaba says President Akufo-Addo may have been misled into giving a date for the commissioning of the newly procured ambulances. Anaba’s comments follow a request made by the National Ambulance Service (NAS) on the commissioning of the ambulance which was scheduled for today, January 6, 2020. President Akufo-Addo in his meet-the-press series in December 2019, promised the commissioning and distribution of all 307 procured ambulances across the various constituencies on January 6, 2020. But the President’s inability to do so as promised has led to Mr Anaba questioning if President Akufo-Addo was unaware of the numerous ‘setbacks’ when he promised to launch them in January 2020. “They [NAS] should just distribute what we have now; with the kind of ambulance service ran in Ghana, all you need is a bed and machine aside the paramedics,” Dr Anaba demanded.
