Personnel of the National Ambulance Service Ghana in the Volta Region have undergone an intensive clinical training programme in Ho, aimed at enhancing emergency cardiac care and pre-hospital intervention capabilities.

The training, led by Paramedic Wonder Kponor, focused on practical, hands-on application of advanced life support techniques and the effective use of critical medical equipment in cardiac emergencies.

Key areas covered during the session included cardiac monitoring and ECG rhythm interpretation, cardioversion and pacing for managing unstable arrhythmias, as well as the operation of mechanical chest compression devices during prolonged resuscitation efforts.

Participants were equipped with improved technical skills and increased field confidence, positioning them to deliver more efficient and life-saving interventions in emergency situations.

The initiative underscores the Service’s commitment to continuous professional development and its broader mandate to provide high-quality, world-class emergency medical care across Ghana.
