Since the Advent of emergency medicine in Ghana some 10 years ago, tremendous progress has been achieved in the health care industry in Ghana in preventing preventable deaths and medical complications. The emergency systems runs for 24 hours and it does not depend on who came first but rather who needs the care first depending on the triage scoring cards. The cards are scored # Red # Green # Yellow # Black according to what the client scores with respect to respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, patients ability to walk and so on. Central governmnets has over the years committed resources to the revamping and invigorating emergency health care in Ghana though it has never being enough. Thus, within the context of participatory health care, the SUNYANI MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL is unveiled as a key partner in reducing mortality in the area of emergency medicine and other related areas. As part of measures put together by the hospital management and the Nursing administration, a two days workshop which started from the 31st October and ended on the 1St November, 2019 was today climaxed with a SIMULATION & MUOLAGE Excercise which lasted for about an hour. A live emergency situation was created where Masses of people were brought to the emergency Unit of the Municipal hospital as a result of head on collision between a metro mass transit and an urvan bus where over 30 people were involved as casualties. The emergency response team with their skills and teamwork came to the scene and it was an admirable one to see the agility and the rapidity with which the health care team rescued the victims, assessed patients who needed care first, those who has to be referred for further management at the Sunyani regional hospital, two people died as a result of the accident, others were admitted and discharged as well. Key among the team members present and part of the emergency response team was the DDNS of the facility Madam Emily Amanfo, EMTs from national ambulance were actively involved in the excercise, nurses and doctors of various categories, securities, logistics officers, and other paramedics were part of the team. Nursing students from the University of energy also played key roles in various aspect of the excercise.

    The DDNS encouraged the staff at the facility to keep the teamwork up and help to improve upon medical care in the country specifically within the BONO region. Some of the team leaders adviced drivers not to drink whiles driving and to avoid over speeding. Health staff were admonished by the Nurse manager to communicate effectively to the public on health interventions, she also enjoins the public to appreciate the meticulous work of hardworking health staff in the country in as much as she agrees there are some bad nuts, we should project and encourage the good ones to live up to expectation.

 An eye witness today at the Sunyani Municipal hospital as they managed Mass casualties from accident reinforces my trust and believe in emergency preparedness and response in the Sunyani Municipal hospital.
