The passing out ceremony of the third and final cohort of the Community Medical First Responders (CMFRS), a partnership between National Ambulance Service (NAS) and the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) is slated for 21st November 2025.
The event will take place at the Paramadic and Emergency Care Training School in Nkenkaasu of the Ashanti region and all the other training center across the country.
The initiative is a two-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) between NAS and YEA to recruit 6,000 young Ghanaians as Community Medical First Responders across the country.
The move is part of the efforts to create jobs and strengthen the emergency response capacity through out Ghanaian communities.
The collaboration comes at a critical time, offering much-needed manpower support to strengthen NAS in the emergency response capacity.
The partnership will play a vital role in bridging the gap between the occurrence of emergency incidents and the timely arrival of ambulances on the scene, thereby enhancing the overall emergency response health care delivery.
