A three-wheel ambulance makes it way to a remote area in Ghana's Upper East Region

Three-wheeled ambulances, known as motorkings, are able to move over rough terrain to transport the sick from their homes in very remote areas to hospitals, where they can receive a better standard of care.

 

More than 80 ambulances were delivered to improve healthcare services in remote areas of Ghana.

 

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) partnered with UNOPS to procure and distribute medical equipment in the Volta and Upper East regions of Ghana. People in the Upper East Region receive much of their medical care from community-based health services.

 

The Ghana Health Service’s Community-Based Health Planning and Services is a national strategy to help strengthen the care and services that community health workers are able to offer in some of the poorest districts, while addressing geographic barriers and bringing health services closer to people who cannot otherwise reach them.
