Government has come under intense criticisms for withholding the distribution of then 48 now 96 ambulances with the excuse of awaiting all 307 procured ambulances shipped into the country before distribution to the various constituencies across the country.  

President Akufo-Addo in his meet-the-press series in December, 2019, promised the commissioning and distribution of all 307 procured ambulances across the various constituencies on January 6, 2020.
