Akwa Ibom State government yesterday gave certificates of participation to 20 emergency response workers trained on its proposed ambulance services.
The state’s Commissioner for Health, Dominic Ukpong, told journalists in Uyo that the successful trainees would run the state’s emergency medical programme.
Ukpong, who presented certificates of attendance to the beneficiaries, said that only those who scored 84 per cent in the examination were certified.
He said, “In emergency training, there is need to maintain standard. Emergency workers are needed everywhere in the world but only the best can help the injured.’’
The commissioner said the certificates given to the trainees were renewable after two years and advised those who could not score the cut-off mark to read and prepare well for the next examination. The service would likely take off in 20 of the 31 local government areas of the state as pilot project.
Ukpong added that the entire state would be covered with at least three ambulances in the course of time.
