Health delivery at the Presbyterian Hospital at Donkorkrom in the Kwahu Afram Plains North District in the Eastern Region is facing challenges because the hospital does not have a reliable ambulance. “Our ambulance is very old, it is weak, and as we speak now, it has been grounded. We have been relying on the community ambulance, which also for some time now has been parked at the district assembly,” the General Manager of the hospital, Mr Kweku Fianko Gyan, told the Daily Graphic in an interview at Donkorkrom. He said the situation had compelled the facility, the only hospital serving both inland and island communities of the plains, to constantly rely on taxis and pickups to transport referred cases on the Maame Krobo-Agogo road to the Agogo Hospital.
