The Member of Parliament for Walewale constituency in the Northern Region, Dr. Sagre Bambagi has donated a brand new ambulance vehicle to the Walewale district hospital.<\/p>\n

The vehicle valued Ghc90,000 cedis was in response to a request from the district health directorate for assistance.<\/p>\n

The West Mamprusi district Director of Health Services, Dr. Abdulai Abukari at the official handing over ceremony commended the Walewale MP for his kind gesture.<\/p>\n

\"a701f2df-8b49-4c3d-a10e-3d8b3449162e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr. Abdulai Abukari revealed that a similar ambulance donated to the hospital in 2003 by Alhassan Dawuda is weak.<\/p>\n

He said the district needed additional ambulance to respond to critical referrals to the Tamale Teaching and Bolgatanga regional hospitals.<\/p>\n

He gave the assurance that the ambulance would be put to good use and also ensure regular maintenance.<\/p>\n

He however called for enough logistics to enable management of the Walewale district hospital improve their efficiency.<\/p>\n

Dr. Abdulai Abukari praised the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s vice Presidential nominee, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia for fixing the hospital’s water crisis by constructing a mechanized borehole at the premises.<\/p>\n

He equally commended a businessman from the area called Alhaji Abuba alias Nasona for constructing a new 50 bed capacity Children’s Ward for the district hospital.<\/p>\n

\"37ee809b-0348-4d65-8eae-3f6491464042\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He however disclosed that the new children’s ward lacked beds and other medical equipment required to make it operational.<\/p>\n

Dr. Abdulai Abukari thereby appealed to philanthropist to help furnish the ward.<\/p>\n

He also complained about the District Health Insurance Scheme’s delay in reimbursing claims submitted by the hospital management.<\/p>\n

\"9716fc3d-e6ac-46db-a9fe-85a70fdc3fa3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The MP, Dr. Sagre Bambangi promised to address some of the hospital’s myriad changes.<\/p>\n

He explained that the ambulance was funded with his share of government’s statutory fund.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bambangi appealed to his constituents to renew his mandate on December 7 to enable him fulfill his campaign promises.<\/p>\n

He called for deeper collaboration between him and the district Chief Executive of the West Mamprusi District Assembly to develop the area.<\/p>\n
