The National Ambulance Service (NAS) has recorded another significant milestone in its ongoing efforts to strengthen emergency medical service delivery, following the successful restoration of two ambulances serving Nalerigu, Gambaga, and surrounding communities.
The two ambulances, which had been out of service for extended periods due to mechanical faults, have undergone the necessary repairs and are now ready to resume emergency response duties, bringing renewed operational capacity to the communities they serve.
The Gambaga-based Nalerigu/Gambaga Constituency ambulance, with registration number GV-674-19, has returned to service after more than two years of being grounded due to an engine breakdown. Following the successful replacement of its engine, the vehicle was restored to operational status on October 12, 2026.
Similarly, the Nalerigu ambulance, registered as GV-22-20, is back in commission after nine months out of service due to mechanical faults involving its clutch disc and injectors. The necessary repairs have been completed, enabling the ambulance to resume its vital role in responding to medical emergencies and supporting the transportation of patients requiring urgent care.
The return of the two ambulances is expected to ease some of the operational constraints associated with their prolonged absence and improve the availability of emergency response vehicles for residents of Nalerigu, Gambaga, and neighbouring communities.
The intervention reflects the importance of sustained investment in ambulance maintenance and fleet restoration as the Service works to improve vehicle availability, strengthen operational readiness, and ensure that communities have access to emergency medical assistance when they need it most.
As the two ambulances return to the road, NAS reaffirms its commitment to providing timely, professional, and reliable pre-hospital emergency care to the people of Nalerigu, Gambaga, and surrounding communities.
