Lawra MP restores ambulance, commissions modern laboratory at Domwine Health Centre
Residents across the Lawra Municipality are expected to experience significant relief in emergency response and diagnostic healthcare delivery following the restoration of the municipal ambulance and the commissioning of a fully equipped laboratory at the Domwine Health Centre.
The Member of Parliament for Lawra Constituency, Bede Anwataazumo Ziedeng, has restored a municipal ambulance and commissioned a new laboratory at the Domwine Health Centre, bringing relief to the residents of the Lawra Municipality. The ambulance, which had been out of service for over two years, forced health officials to rely on unsafe and inefficient means of transporting critical patients to secondary health facilities.
The restoration of the ambulance cost more than GH₵130,000, exceeding an initial estimate of GH₵50,000 for engine replacement. The lawmaker emphasized that the ceremony was to inform communities that emergency pre-hospital care had been restored to the area. He also appealed for funds to repair more broken-down ambulances across the country.
The Lawra Municipal Director of Health Services, Phoebe Balagumyetime, expressed relief over the ambulance's return, recalling instances where the Municipal Chief Executive had to transport critically ill patients in unsafe conditions. The Acting Medical Superintendent of the Lawra Municipal Hospital, Dr David Aboagye, appealed for more doctors to be posted to the municipality.
