It
is expected to among other tasks offer emergency medical service and
administer emergency care to those with acute medical problems.
The
GN Health Ambulance Service shall also provide a 24-hour response to
medical and trauma related emergencies and interventions.
The
chairman of GN Health Issah Adam noted “once again the President and
CEO of Groupe Nduom, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, as well as the Senior Vice
President, Mrs Yvonne Nduom and all the Directors are once more setting
the pace in terms of providing improved welfare services to employees of
the Group”.
He told the gathering of health
professionals “this marks yet another milestone in the annals of Groupe
Nduom. In addition to providing free medical services, they are adding
this Ambulance Service to complete the bouquet of Medical Services for
the benefit of employees of the group in Greater Accra and Central
Regions”.
Over 60% of deaths in Ghana,
according to available statistics, are as a result of unavailable
ambulance service to transport women in labour and accident victims to
the appropriate medical facility. Experts believe the conditions leading
to deaths can be addressed by appropriate and timely emergency care
like what GN Health Ambulance Service seeks to achieve.
“GN
Health will make sure that we have well trained EMTs (Emergency Medical
Technicians) and Ambulance Drivers who are well trained and know
exactly what to do in emergency situations.
“The
Ford 350 ambulances, are well equipped with modern equipment and
consumables needed for emergency situations and pre-hospital care to
patients. Please take note that these are not just ambulances to provide
transport services that cannot provide proper pre-hospital care,” he
added.
The Ambulances have a more robust set of
equipment for pre-hospital care. They are equipped with tools necessary
for multiple types of emergencies, from respiratory assistance machines
and defibrillators to items as simple as bandages and disinfectant
solution.
