Life Without an Ambulance in Dormaa Central:A Society negotiating With Fate

 Every district reveals its priorities not only through what it builds, but through what it leaves missing. Some communities write their story in classrooms. Others in highways. And some, quietly and painfully, in emergencies that arrive with no answer.


Dormaa Central’s present chapter can only be called delay.


The absence of an ambulance is not merely a logistical gap. It is a message. It tells residents that when life turns fragile, they may be left to negotiate survival alone. Few things test public confidence faster than a medical emergency met with silence.


For nearly a year, the district has functioned without a working ambulance. Illness does not pause for procurement. Accidents do not wait for paperwork. Crisis keeps its own clock, yet response here has remained stalled.


A town without an ambulance is a town bargaining with fate.


Public infrastructure becomes most visible when it disappears. Roads matter when they collapse. Electricity matters when it fails. Ambulances matter most when they are missing.


Today, emergencies arrive wrapped in uncertainty. Who will carry the patient? Who will find transport? Who will reach help in time? Families improvise. Strangers step in. Minutes slip away.



Healthcare is not only treatment. It is access. It is the bridge between danger and care. When that bridge is broken, hospitals become distant promises while conditions worsen.


A health system is measured not by speeches, but by speed. And at the moment, time itself is winning the race.



Dormaa Central does not lack courage, compassion, or community spirit. What it lacks is the one vehicle that turns hope into survival. Until that gap is filled, every siren that does not sound will echo louder than any promise.

Tradition vs Nation? DormaaHene Sparks Debate Over Flags and Unity

Image
  In Ghana, symbols matter. They carry memory, identity, and authority. So when the DormaaHene openly questioned the growing habit of using non-national flags at public events, especially ceremonies attended by the President, it struck a nerve. His message was simple but firm: tradition is important, but national unity must never be blurred. In a time when symbols can quietly divide or unite, his call for standardization deserves serious attention. The Concern Raised The DormaaHene expressed clear displeasure over the increasing use of flags other than Ghana’s national flag by some traditional leaders during official functions. According to him, such practices create confusion about authority and representation, particularly when the Head of State is present. For a country built on shared history and collective struggle, the national flag remains the highest symbol of sovereignty. His concern is not an attack on chieftaincy or cultural identity. Rather, it is a reminder that tr...
