If you dialed 193 right now, would you get an answer? Would there be an ambulance ready to leave the station? Currently, there are only 121 ambulance stations across Ghana for 24 million people. Felix Apeamenyo lost his wife because he did not know the number 193. His wife delivered in a taxi and started bleeding. When they got to the nearest hospital, she was refused treatment. Felix’s wife died on their way to the next hospital. This week we are calling 193 to better understand the workings of the ambulance service and discuss the challenges with Dr. Armed Zakaria, the hard working boss of the National Ambulance Service.
