National Ambulance Service begins ‘Operation Restore Fleet’ to restore grounded ambulances
Repair works are underway at the National Ambulance Service’s (NAS) Central Workshop at Korle-Bu to restore grounded ambulances and return them to active duty across the country.
The National Ambulance Service (NAS) is currently undertaking "Operation Restore Fleet" to repair and return grounded ambulances to active duty across Ghana. This intensive effort is led by technicians and engineers at the NAS Central Workshop in Korle-Bu, working tirelessly to fix mechanical issues that have affected vehicles after six years of extensive nationwide service.
The primary goal of the operation is to get as many ambulances back on the road as possible while identifying and managing those beyond economic repair.
NAS CEO, Dr George Kojo Owusu, inspected the workshop during a visit alongside senior management. He expressed satisfaction with the progress and praised the dedication of workshop personnel, stating that the operation is on track and yielding positive results. Dr Owusu also noted the progress in segregating serviceable vehicles from those beyond repair, which will enhance workshop efficiency and streamline maintenance processes.
To improve monitoring and decision-making, the service is introducing fleet management software. Additionally, enhanced security measures, including CCTV cameras, are being installed to protect assets and bolster accountability. The repair program is part of NAS's broader strategy to ensure timely emergency medical response throughout the country.
