Accra, June 11, GNA – The only vehicle on road at the well-acclaimed Princess Louise Marie Hospital is the 10-year-old ambulance, which also serves as the only “leg” of the hospital. “It is this same ambulance that takes staffs on outreach programmes and convey others for most official assignments outside the hospital”, Ms. Elizabeth Ami Dogbe, Health Service Administrator of the Hospital told the Ghana News Agency in an interview on Wednesday on transport situation of the hospital.
She said all the vehicles at the hospital had broken down and various appeals for their replacement had not been responded to. She indicated that staffs for a long time had resorted to picking commercial vehicles for official assignment, which had adverse effect on their work and a drain on the finances of the hospital. She, therefore, made an appeal to the authorities to, as a matter of urgency, provide the hospital with a double-cabin pickup for general operations and an 18-seater bus for outreach programmes, adding, “the old ambulance also need possible replacement”.
