Police in the Eastern Region have made contact with the female paramedic who was sexually assaulted in the ambulance robbery incident a week ago.
This comes after the paramedic had indicated days later after the incident that no one had contacted her whatsoever to make a statement.
The armed robbers shot and killed the driver of the ambulance while conveying a pregnant woman from the Akuse Government Hospital to the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua.
There were concerns the police had delayed in tracking down the perpetrators by failing to contact the victims who survived the attack.
But, the Acting Regional Police PRO, Francis Gomado, has said the police team visited the area of the alleged perpetrators but was unable to make any arrest as there was not a single soul upon their arrival.

Dr Arko Akoto-Ampaw, Medical Director of the Eastern Regional Hospital, has underscored the need for a kidney dialysis centre to be established at the Regional hospital to scale up healthcare services.
According to the Medical Director, the dialysis centre would provide access to such critical healthcare service to many people in the Eastern Region and parts of the Volta region, who had no option but to travel to Accra and elsewhere for such services.
He said even though the construction of the 600-bed New Regional hospital in Koforidua, had factored it in the plan, “for the time being the need for such a centre has become relevant with the covid-19 pandemic which aggravates the situation of people with renal conditions”.
