Attorney General has cleared the retrieval of 30 abandoned ambulances at Burma Camp. The move is expected to boost emergency healthcare delivery across the country.
Authorities have handed the vehicles over to the National Ambulance Service (NAS) for assessment. The service will inspect their condition, carry out repairs, and redeploy them to areas with urgent needs.
The decision follows concerns about gaps in emergency medical services, especially in underserved and remote communities. Officials say restoring the ambulances will improve response times and expand coverage.

The Attorney General approved the recovery after reviewing legal and ownership issues. This ensures the process complies with existing regulations.
The National Ambulance Service will begin a technical audit of the fleet in the coming days. It will then roll out a phased refurbishment programme. After repairs, the service will distribute the ambulances to support frontline care.
Health experts say the move is a practical way to make use of idle resources. They add that it will also help address ongoing challenges in emergency response across the country.
