The Ministry of Health in Sierra Leone has just received 19 new vehicles including 10 ambulances and 9 Prados from the government of Sierra Leone and Non-Governmental Organisations working in the country.
With 20 more to come, the vehicles will help improve referral systems and ease patients’ access to healthcare.
The provision of these vehicles comes as a beacon of hope for citizens residing in remote areas, who have long grappled with the challenge of accessing medical assistance in times of need.
Just recently, a distressing video surfaced online, capturing the arduous journey of individuals transporting a pregnant woman to a medical facility in the dead of night. The footage vividly illustrated the struggles faced by the woman in labor and the desperate efforts of the community to locate the nearest hospital, situated kilometers away.
This incident sparked widespread debate across social and mainstream media platforms, with citizens urging swift government intervention to avert such crises in the future.
With the addition of these vehicles, particularly the ambulances, emergency response times are expected to significantly improve, thereby enhancing maternal and child health outcomes across Sierra Leone.
MashaAllah Tabarakallahu, This is what I was expecting from the Government and NGO’s. Please Please ALL Health Workers 🙏 Especially the Drivers Take this Vehicle As your Own, Work in the interests of the Country not personally 😕. For anyone who intented to Miss used and Abuse this Vehicle’s May ALLAH Remove Him/her from the System and bring those who are Willing to Work for the interests of Mama Salone. MY WISE WORD 😌 is U do GOOD Nar GOOD go FALA U, U do BAD nar BaD go FALA U, LUNTA .More Blessings from above.
My regards
