KPETOE, GHANA – A shocking incident occurred this morning in Kpetoe, Ghana, when a critically ill boy and his mother were denied ambulance services despite numerous calls for help. The boy and his mother were forced to travel by commercial car, in hopes of meeting the ambulance on the way, but were met with disappointment. The ambulance was found to be stationed at the Kpetoe station and the boy was refused service by Mr. Dogbey, the ambulance service staff.
According to eyewitnesses, the nurses at Ziope Clinic confirmed that this is not the first time that the ambulance service has failed to respond to emergency calls, resulting in loss of life. The caller has raised several questions, including what protocol must be followed in such critical situations and what the service of an ambulance in Ghana entails.
This incident has sparked public outrage and calls for the Ghana Ambulance Service to investigate the staff at Kpetoe Ambulance Station. The public is encouraged to contact 0245232423 for more information. The hashtag #ghanaambulanceservice, #EMTTraining, #emt, #emtgh, and #nationalemt are trending on social media as people demand answers and call for improved ambulance services in Ghana.
The denial of ambulance services to a critically ill boy and his mother is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the state of the ambulance service in Ghana. It is imperative that the relevant authorities take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that every individual in need of medical attention receives the proper care and support.

Even in my district, before u can get an ambulance to a resignated hospital within the region, u r to pay a 1000 cedis before. Hmmmm, its just unfortunate, where will an ordinary Ghanaian get such an amount in the first place and also before the patient leaves too, he or she must settle the hospital’s charges. Hmmmmm, its indeed very very sad. Health in Ghana is something
