The National Ambulance Service (NAS) has empathized its commitment to advancing emergency medical care in Ghana through stronger collaboration with key stakeholders in the sector.
In a meeting held at the NAS Headquarters, the Chief Executive Officer of the Service, Dr. George Kojo Owusu, led a team from NAS in a strategic engagement with a delegation from the Emergency Medicine Society of Ghana (EMSOG).
The discussions focused on ways to deepen partnerships and improve emergency medical systems nationwide.
Dr. Owusu commended EMSOG for its dedication to fostering collaboration, networking, and strategic alliances that promote quality emergency healthcare delivery across the sub-region.
He, however, underscored the importance of ensuring balanced and inclusive representation in stakeholder engagements, particularly the active involvement of frontline paramedics, whose insights and experiences are vital in shaping effective emergency response policies.
The EMSOG delegation acknowledged the concern, apologized for the oversight, and assured the NAS leadership that future engagements would reflect broader professional inclusion to ensure a more holistic approach to improving emergency care in Ghana.
As part of the engagement, Dr. Owusu presented a copy of the Community Medical First Responders Training Manual to Dr. Nana Afia Boateng in recognition of her instrumental role in developing the document, which serves as a key resource for strengthening community-level emergency response across the country.
Both NAS and EMSOG pledged to continue working closely to improve response times, enhance training, and elevate the overall standard of emergency medical services in Ghana.
