The National Ambulance Service (NAS) has refuted media claims and viral video circulating on social media about a Toyota Hiace Ambulance belonging to the government of Ghana on sale in Dubai.

According to NAS statement release on May 29, 2023, the attention of the service has been drawn to such false allegation making claims that an ambulance belonging to the service is been sold in that country.

Reacting to the issue, the Deputy Director of Public Relations, Mr. Simmons Yussif Kewura said the ambulance in question is one of the 26 Toyota Hiace Ambulances being procured by the government, through the Ministry OF Health and founded by the World Bank.

Mr. Kewura added that the said ambulance is found on the premises the company which is manufacturing the ambulances.

“It is therefore not true that the ambulance is there for sale. I entreat all Ghanaians to ignore the wild claims,” he stated.

He said the manufacturing process of the ambulances are over and very soon they will be shipped into Ghana and therefore called on the general public to disregard the video in circulation and commentary made by the person who made that false claim.
