The Member of Parliament for the Bole-Bamboi Constituency, Yusif Sulemana, has received two Rural Motor King tricycle ambulances from LK International Company Ghana Limited as proof of the company’s production capacity.
The donation was received by the MP on behalf of the President,HE John Dramani Mahama.
Fabricated in Ghana, the tricycle ambulance is fitted with first aid box, collapsible stretcher, seats, lights, sirens and has double back tyres for stability.
The machines are to be transferred to rural communities, particularly difficult-to-access areas with such a need.
Receiving the ambulances, Hon Yusif said the government was working to ensure that no Ghanaian, irrespective of their socio-economic status and location, was left out in health and education.
The MP recognised that there are a lot of communities that would need such ambulances and said he is optimistic the President will support in that regard.
He said the vehicle would help to bring healthcare delivery closer to the vulnerable, especially pregnant women in labour who were sometimes transported in uncomfortable means.
Madam Isha Abubakari Bancia of LK International Ghana Limited, noted that the donation was to support government’s efforts at delivering quality health care to the public.
She said the ambulance was of exceptional difference and an innovative solution which was convenient and faster in saving lives in rural areas, especially in areas that were not easily accessible by the regular ambulance.
She also asked for government’s interventions in the promotion of indigenous businesses.
