The National Ambulance Service (NAS) has commenced a nationwide Financial Monitoring Exercise aimed at strengthening financial accountability, enhancing internal controls, and ensuring the prudent use of public resources across all Regional Offices.

The exercise, which runs from Monday, 7th September to Sunday, 20th September 2026, is being spearheaded by the Director of Finance, Mr. Victor Cofie, as part of ongoing efforts by Management to promote sound financial governance and compliance with established financial and procurement regulations throughout the Service.

Conducted under the authority of the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. (Med) George Kojo Owusu, the exercise will assess adherence to approved financial management procedures, procurement processes, and internal control systems in all regions.

The monitoring exercise is being undertaken in accordance with the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) as amended, as well as the approved financial policies and internal controls of the National Ambulance Service.

Areas to be assessed include financial records and supporting documentation, management and retirement of imprests, budgetary control and expenditure authorization, procurement and payment processes, revenue collection and accountability, cash and bank reconciliation records, stores management, asset administration, fuel management, and compliance with NAS financial procedures.

To facilitate the exercise, Regional Administrators have been directed to ensure that all relevant records and supporting documents are updated, reconciled, and readily available for inspection. Required documents include cashbooks, General Counterfoil Receipt (GCR) books, asset registers, value book registers, and inventory ledgers.

Management believes the exercise will further strengthen transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency across the Service while reinforcing public confidence in the management of resources entrusted to the National Ambulance Service.

Every time I hear debates about “no beds” and "ambulances not working", my chest tightens… because for some of us, this is not politics or social media talk. It is trauma!

On Wednesday, January 26, 2022, one of my sons developed serious breathing difficulties. He was literally surviving on a machine. A hospital at North Legon looked at us and said the words no parent ever wants to hear:
“Move him immediately to a tertiary hospital.”

Then reality hit.

We had two challenges at the same time: No bed… and no ambulance.

We called everywhere. Korle Bu — no bed. 37 — no bed. And you quickly understand something about our healthcare system: when a child is struggling to breathe, you don’t have time for procedures, bureaucracy or referrals. Minutes feel like sand slipping through your fingers.

By God’s grace, Oheneyere Naana Dansoa helped us secure a bed at the Children’s Hospital, and Ridge later confirmed space at their ER. But even then, nothing was guaranteed. You live in constant fear that by the time you arrive, someone else may have taken the bed.

Then the Ambulance team arrived.

Before we moved, I was quietly advised to follow the ambulance behind in my own car, not for comfort, but to make sure I was physically there to secure the bed when they got there. That’s the level of uncertainty families go through.

That 4-minute drive from North Legon to Ridge, in rush hour traffic, is still one of the longest journeys of my life. Siren screaming. Heart pounding. Praying. Watching a child you cannot help… and knowing all you need is a bed and oxygen.

So today, when you see a car closely following an ambulance, please don’t insult them. Don’t block them. Don’t assume they are tailgating to avoid traffic.

Sometimes that car is carrying a father… a mother… a relative… racing against death, trying to secure a bed before it disappears.

God bless the Ghana Ambulance Service. That wonderful team from Madina constituency and the health professionals at Ridge Hospital.
