Our Story
Born from Tragedy, Built for Ghana
On May 9, 2001, 127 people were trampled to death at the Accra Sports Stadium, a tragedy witnessed by a nation that was shaken to its core. Emergency medicine experts noted that many of those lives could have been saved with prompt, structured pre-hospital care. Ghana had none.
President John Agyekum Kufour directed the Ministry of Health to establish a dedicated emergency medical service. In 2004, the National Ambulance Service was born through a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Health and the Ghana National Fire Service.
Beginning with just 69 Emergency Medical Technicians, 9 ambulances, and 7 stations across 3 regions, NAS has grown into a nationwide network that now operates in every district of Ghana, answering over 20,000 calls annually and training the next generation of emergency medics at its own dedicated school.
