A private jet belonging to Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama has departed the country as part of a plan to convert the aircraft into a national air ambulance, according to reports.
The aircraft, previously used for private travel by Mr. Mahama, the brother of former President John Dramani Mahama, is expected to be retrofitted with specialised medical equipment to serve emergency health transport needs.
While specific details regarding the timeline for the conversion and the full operational scope of the air ambulance have not yet been disclosed, the development has drawn attention as a potential boost to the country’s emergency medical services.
Mr. Mahama, a well-known figure in Ghanaian business and philanthropy, has not yet issued a personal statement regarding the departure or the conversion process.
Further updates on the project’s status and when the converted air ambulance will be ready for deployment are expected in the coming weeks.
