NAS repairs two more ambulances for Domeabra-Obom, Weija-Gbawe
The National Ambulance Service (NAS) has repaired two additional constituency ambulances assigned to Domeabra-Obom and Weija-Gbawe, bringing the vehicles closer to returning to emergency duty under its Operation Restore Fleet initiative.
In an announcement, the service said the two ambulances had been repaired and were currently at its headquarters, ready for immediate deployment.
The repairs form part of efforts by the NAS to restore non-operational ambulances and improve access to prehospital emergency care, particularly when delays in reaching patients can have serious consequences.
The service said Operation Restore Fleet was aimed at improving ambulance availability, strengthening operational efficiency, and getting more vehicles back on the road to serve communities across Ghana.
The restoration of the two ambulances is expected to support emergency response capacity in Domeabra-Obom and Weija-Gbawe once the vehicles are deployed to their respective constituencies.
The NAS stressed that the initiative remained focused on returning grounded ambulances to service and ensuring that more communities could access timely emergency medical assistance.
However, the Service did not disclose the cost of repairing the two vehicles, how long they had been out of operation, or the total number of ambulances restored under Operation Restore Fleet so far.
It also did not provide a specific deployment date beyond indicating that the repaired ambulances were ready for immediate deployment.
The latest repairs add to the service's efforts to improve fleet availability and strengthen Ghana’s prehospital emergency care system, where functional ambulances are essential for transporting patients and responding to medical emergencies.
