“…The Police Service, the Fire Service and the National Ambulance Service all had emergency response numbers. I am happy to announce that thankfully, we have merged all emergency numbers to one number which is 112,” he said.

President Akufo-Addo also indicated that, 145 new ambulance stations will be created to give Ghana a total of 275 stations.

In addition, the Finance Ministry has given financial clearance for the National Ambulance Service to recruit and train 1,477 emergency medical technicians.

President Akufo-Addo further appealed to the public to desist from abusing the emergency service number with prank calls.

It’s good that this good initiative from Nana Addo has saved someone’s life!!!
