AMBULANCE SERVICE

By September 2019 the ambulance service/ taxi service of the MMH program came to the end of its funding the District and the hospital were supposed to take over. The Dispatch centre was handed over to the hospital for supervision while 2 of the staff remained receiving phone calls and communicating about transport. One District ambulance got an accident, while the hospital ambulance is old and only fit for tarmac. A new ambulance was request to benefactors via the Diocese. Taxis need to be paid by patients / first line health units. In reality attendance of the waiting hostel has declined from over 40 to 20+. Many mothers come late by motorbike.
Opening Cemonc centre at Kome Island has helped to bring services closer to the mothers.
