Residents of Mabaruma, Region One,Kenny Lofton Indians Jersey, are still without a vehicle to transport the sick in the event of emergencies, three months after a “special purpose” ambulance was scheduled to return to service.This was revealed after questions about the ambulance service in Mabaruma were recently raised in the National Assembly by A Partnership National Unity, (APNU) Member of Parliament, Annette Ferguson.In written response to the questions about the service in operation at Mabaruma and the surrounding communities of Region One, Health Minister,Satchel Paige Indians Jersey, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, related that there is no special purpose ambulance vehicle in Mabaruma.The ambulance was sent to Georgetown,Reggie Sanders Reds Jersey, several months ago for repairs.“The special purpose ambulance vehicle was sent to Georgetown by the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), in November 2012 for general repairs… the RDC has put in place alternative arrangements to ensure that Mabaruma and surrounding communities were never without some level of ambulance services.”According to Ramsaran,Barry Larkin Reds Jersey, ambulance service in this regard is provided by a 4×4 pickup truck which is equipped with pre-packed emergency kits and oxygen cylinders; a full-time driver is also readily accessible to provide temporary assistance. This improvised service available to Mabaruma and its environs, was programmed to function until the special purpose ambulance was repaired and returned the community.The temporary arrangement is operable on a 24-hour basis, purportedly at a cost under the RDC Budget.The ambulance had developed mechanical problems and needs general undercarriage repairs or replacement of several such parts, which include shocks, springs and steering ends.The maintenance and repairs to the ambulance are being executed in Georgetown by Mr. Kurt Branker,Devin Mesoraco Reds Jersey, since, according to the Minister,Dave Concepcion Reds Jersey, appropriate spares cannot be easily sourced in Region One.Unfortunately, the Minister did not give a date when the ambulance will be returned to Mabaruma.
