The driver with the National Ambulance Service in the Eastern Region who was shot by some suspected armed robbers in the eye is dead. Abraham Tetteh died at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra on February 6, 2021.
The National Ambulance Service (NAS) has assured its personnel that the necessary security measures are being put in place to guarantee their safety across the country.
The measures, it said, included getting police escorts for ambulances providing emergency services in the night across the country.
“(Operating) during the day is not as risky as during the night, so we have appealed to the sector minister to take it up with the Minister of the Interior so that they can engage the Inspector General of Police to see the security that they can provide, especially for the night emergencies,” the Chief Executive Officer of the NAS, Professor Ahmed Zakaria, told the Daily Graphic last Wednesday.
