Eight participants suffered medical emergencies during the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Conference and Election held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
The National Ambulance Service (NAS), which provided emergency medical cover for the event, said the eight were assessed and stabilised by its emergency medical teams before being transported to the Kumasi South Hospital for further treatment.
Several other people who required attention were treated at the venue and discharged after receiving care, with no need for hospital referral.
NAS deployed five ambulances and more than 30 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) to the stadium throughout the programme to provide immediate medical assistance to delegates and other participants.
The emergency teams remained on duty until the conference and election ended, after which the ambulances and EMTs returned to their respective stations.
The NAS said the deployment formed part of its support for major public events and was intended to ensure prompt medical response whenever participants required assistance.
