New Oworobong Gets 'Aboboyaa’ As An Ambulance Vehicle

The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Constituency in the Eastern region of Ghana, 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 Member of Parliament 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 a deplorable road network.

Subsequently, the MP paid a visit to the community to present the tricycle to the community and a Led-screen TV set to the nurse.

The parliamentarian opined, “On November 1, 2021, a story broke that a young lady referred to the Kwahu Government Hospital had given birth while being transported.

"The situational reports from the nurses at the facility reached my doorstep and I followed up with a visit to see the mother and the daughter as well.

"I am happy to announce that on Thursday, the mother and the baby were both discharged. I made a follow-up to see the home of the young family and also met with the committed nurses at New Oworobong in my constituency”.

“I have purchased a tricycle emergency vehicle to use by the Nketepa, New Oworobong, and Kwahu Amanfrom electoral areas to transport emergencies to Atibie and to serve as a means for community health outreach, adding that I also showed appreciation to the young nurse who delivered the baby," he detailed his achievement 

The Lawmaker appealed to the government to rehabilitate Kwahu Adowso -Nketepa-Amatey to Amanfrom road.

“I am using this medium to appeal to the government to help construct or reshape the Kwahu Adowso-Nketepa-Amatey-Amanfrom road. These areas produce lots of vegetables that feed several many residents in the region”.
