The Health For All Coalition representative at the Kenema Government Hospital has in an interview with Salone News Hub revealed that the Ambulances that were managed by the
National Emergency Medical Service(NEMS)in kenema have been left packed at the hospital premises as a result of lack of fuel and none maintenance since the organisation ended operation.
Ibrahim Feika intimated that NEMS is an organisation that partnered with government during its two years stay in the country.
Feika said since they stopped operation, the hospital has been constrained of ambulance services.
He maintained that maternal death is on the rise as a result of lack of ambulances to convey pregnant women from far reached communities within the district to the hospital. He revealed that most of the pregnant women are conveyed by motorists to the hospital. This he said sometimes lead to miscarriages of some pregnancies at their early stage.
The Civil Society Activist further informed that the drivers of the vehicles have also gone for months without salary.
Furthermore, he said, most of the nurses assigned to those ambulances were not pin coded during the recent awards of pin codes by the Government of Sierra Leone.
He called for the government’s intervention to ameliorate the plights of the hospital and people of the district at large.
The ambulance coordinator at the hospital, Patrick Senesie could not speak on the said matter.
