All emergencies 112: Ghana National Ambulance Service: call 112 for a medical emergency, 24/7. Ghana National Fire Service also says to call 112. ITU-T E.129 (updated 2023-07-19) lists 112 as Emergency SOS. UK FCDO lists 112 for ambulance, fire, police, coast guard and mountain rescue (https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/ghana/getting-help). ITU-T E.129 (updated 2023-07-19) classifies 999 as National Security, so FCDO's 999 is not recorded as a public emergency number. ITU-T E.129 (2012-04-03) lists 193 as ambulance; the National Ambulance Service does not publish 193, so it is not recorded.
