Amankwa-Tornu, Govt Provides Ambulance Boat For Ghana Health Service

Residents of Kwahu Afram Plains North District in the Eastern Region who

live within Islands, find it difficult to access health facilities because

most of them live along the Volta lake, pregnant women during labour board

a wooden boat owned by the Ghana Health Service which is in bad shape and

poses threat to the lives of residents and health officials. Their

situation became worse when this boat had to be abandoned because it had no

life jacket.

Government as a matter of urgency has provided an ambulance boat to convey

pregnant women and sick people who live within the islands like, Dwarf

Island, Fosso-Battor,Sidi-Kope, Amankwa- Tornu, Gbitugbi and Agordeke which

has no health facilities, even though, most communities on these islands

have chip compounds.

People of Kwahu Afram Plains North District in the Eastern Region can now

boast of an ambulance boat to convey pregnant women and people with health

issues to the nearest hospital for health care.
