The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Constituency in Eastern region Davis Opoku Ansah has purchased a tricycle popularly known as “Aboboyaa” to be used as an Ambulance to transport pregnant women in labour and critically ill residents in New Oworobong, a farming Community.
The gesture by the MP follows an incident that went viral after a Community nurse performed roadside delivery of a pregnant woman who had spontaneous labour while walking a long distance to the hospital to deliver due to poor road network which has occasioned unavailability of cars plying the road.
The MP visited the community subsequently to present the tricycle to the community and a flat-screen TV set to the nurse.
He said “On November 1, 2021, a story broke that a young lady referred to the Kwahu Government Hospital had given birth while being transported.
I got the situational reports from the nurses at the facility and followed up with a visit to see the mother and daughter.
I am happy to report that on Thursday, the mother and baby got discharged. On Friday, I followed up to see the home of the young family and also met with the committed nurses at New Oworobong in my constituency”.
He continued “I have purchased a tricycle emergency vehicle for use by the Nketepa, New Oworobong, and Kwahu Amanfrom electoral areas to transport emergency cases to Atibie and serve as a means for community health outreach. I also showed appreciation to the young nurse who delivered the baby.
The Lawmaker appealed to the government to rehabilitate Adawso -Nketepa-Amatey to Amanfrom road.
“I am using this medium to appeal to the government to help construct or reshape the Adawso-Nketepa-Amatey-Amanfrom road. These areas grow lots of vegetables that feed several markets”
