These Ambulances were bought in 2020, if we use a Depreciation rate of 20% per annum on a Reducing Balance rate,they shd be getting to the end of their life span.Only serious maintenance services can keep them on our poor roads.Unfortunate for Ghana both. NDC & NPP govts do not care for its citizens.I know the current govt is praying for all to break down for them to procure home used 207 MB Vans. Thankfully Atro Forson is around to help in that deal.

Those Ambulances, I believe some of them are no longer road worthy due accident and mechanical depreciation and the government of the day needs to bring news ones to replace them, it's not always about maintenance.

This is the agenda:
1. 1 student, 1 laptop: the laptops are used to watch pornographic stuff.
2. Zipline medical drones: the drones are used to transport condoms
3. 1 district, 1 ambulance: drivers are charging patients for fuel; 127 of the ambulances are broken down.
4. Agenda 111: only 3 hospitals are functional.

These ambulances would have lasted longer if there was proper msintainace guidelines on the fleet. If each ambulance was allocated to each district hospital it means there would not be too much pressure on it to have developed engine/ mechanical fault easily if constant maintenance is done but those in authority are fond of neglecting this important aspect of use of the ambulances and would rather pocket monies meant for its maintenance.

Now, it looks like there's cry for new ambulances to be purchased, a good avenue only to allow people steal money. Trust the Ghanaian leaders and workers at your own peril.

The trucks just need new engine injectors. The injectors have been damaged due to using improper fuel. Plus, you have to use ultra-low sulfur fuel in them. And that can be a problem acquiring that fuel anywhere outside of Accra.

A very important factor is having good roads for ambulances to safely operate. Most of our roads are too dangerous and difficult for the drivers to navigate smoothly, considering the speed with which they operate.

Out of envy this useless NDC government has terminated the maintenance contract for servicing these ambulances because they claim Akufo Addo’s daughter is involved. Ghana is indeed a shithole country.

Does this surprise anyone?. 127 out of 318 ambulances are currently non operational.
It has often been said that the only thing Ghanaians are good at is organizing funerals. I rest my case.

A country called Ghana, our mindset is questionable. Some drivers of these ambulances behave as if they are driving space craft.

Hmmmm, very soon all of them will be grounded and out of service. One wonders why the Ambulances are out of service; is it lack of spare parts or mishandling the vehicles..?? Could it failure to report broken down of the vehicles. And who is in charge of the fleet of the Ambulances; is Ministry of Health or a different organization or entity..?? Strange to hear about this..!!
