The Chief Executive Officer of the National Ambulance Service (NAS), Dr. (Med) George Kojo Owusu, has outlined a range of measures to strengthen emergency medical response in the Oti Region during a working visit to the Biakoye Ambulance Station.
Addressing operational needs and staff welfare, Dr. Owusu assured personnel of Management’s commitment to expanding station coverage, undertaking further recruitment. He also announced plans for a three-year minimum service period for personnel posted to the region to promote workforce stability and continuity of service delivery.
On fleet readiness, the CEO indicated that the Oti Region has 6 operational ambulances, with plans underway to restore the remaining 4.
He further stressed the need for the swift restoration of ambulances affected by injector problems and commended Biakoye personnel for their initiative in sourcing funds to repair an affected ambulance. The region has also been prioritised under the upcoming KOFIH project, while the introduction of new Deputy Directors and the provision of essential medical consumables are expected to strengthen supervision and daily operations.
Dr. Owusu also reaffirmed Management’s commitment to supporting the painting and improvement of the Biakoye Station. He personally contributed to supporting the station, while encouraging personnel to establish dedicated bank accounts to promote transparent financial management. The Regional Administrative Manager, in turn, pledged to sustain proper ambulance management and maintenance.
The visit underscores NAS Management’s continued engagement with frontline personnel and its commitment to addressing operational challenges, strengthening emergency response capacity, and improving service delivery across the Oti Region.
