On 1st October 2025, the Acting Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Ambulance Service (NAS), Dr. Patrick Inkoom-Colbelson, led a delegation including the Acting Director of Operations, Dr. Ali Baba Awini, and the Head of the Fleet Unit, PAEMT Francis Nkebi Annan, on a courtesy visit to the Department of Urban Roads.
The visit formed part of NAS management’s operational strategy to expand emergency coverage through the establishment of ambulance stations at major interchanges across the country, beginning with the Flower Pot Interchange in Accra.
During the engagement:
• The Director of Urban Roads warmly welcomed the NAS delegation and requested an overview of NAS operations.
• Dr. Inkoom-Colbelson and Mr. Awini outlined NAS’s mandate and its critical role in nationwide emergency medical response.
• Both teams reviewed proposed spaces within the interchange, agreeing on Bay 3 as the most suitable site for the ambulance station.
• Dr. Inkoom-Colbelson further proposed emergency response training for Department of Urban Roads staff to strengthen their preparedness.
The Director of Urban Roads commended the collaboration and urged NAS to take proactive steps in occupying the agreed space. He also requested a formal letter from NAS outlining specific requirements for the establishment of the station.
This strategic partnership reflects NAS’s commitment to bringing lifesaving emergency medical services closer to Ghanaians by integrating stations into key transport hubs nationwide.
