The Member of Parliament for the Manhyia North Constituency, Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwa has given a brand new ambulance and other medical supplies to the Buokrom and Moshie Zongo communities.
At two separate presentation ceremonies at Sepe Buokrom and Moshie Zongo, the MP underscored the importance of having a healthy community.

Laying out more plans for the constituency, the MP indicated his readiness to ensure health clinics and facilities receive the facelift they deserve.
He stressed the need to stock these facilities so as to enable them to attend to emergencies and deliveries.
According to him, the country cannot continue to watch unawares when pregnant mothers die while giving birth. Hon Amankwah indicated his resolve to solicit for more support to ensure medical needs of the constituents are given topmost priority.
Speaking at the elaborate presentation ceremonies, Dr Alberta Nyarko Britwum, Kumasi Metro Director of Health Services expressed her delight at the timely intervention of the Manhyia North MP.
According to her, government alone cannot resolve the challenges at the health sector and would daily depend on such donations to augment what it can provide.

With nursing mothers and pregnant mothers dying for lack of ambulance to convey them to a better facility, Dr Nyarko intimated such assistance as done by the MP is timely.
