The Ghana
National Ambulance Service has reacted to a video in circulation
claiming one of the ambulances belonging to the service has been shipped to
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for sale.
In a statement,
the Ambulance Service explained that the vehicle in the video is part of 26 new
vehicles the government was procuring from Dubai.
According to the
service, the vehicle is currently in the yard of the vehicle manufacturing
company, which is preparing it for shipment into Ghana.
This comes
following a viral video circulating on social media of an ambulance in Dubai
belonging to the Government of Ghana which is purported to be being sold in
that country.
But the National
Ambulance Service said it is part of a total of 26 Toyota Hiace vehicles that
the government through the Ministry of Health has purchased.
The said ambulance
is found on the premises of the Company, which is manufacturing the ambulances
adding that it is therefore not true that the ambulance is there for sale.
It stated the
manufacturing processes are over and very soon the ambulances will be shipped
to Ghana.
The service
entreated the general public to disregard the video in circulation and the
commentary made by the person who made the video.
