“We have now completed work to integrate this 112 number with our digital postal address system and that means that, when you are in difficulty and you call an emergency number; police, fire service or ambulance, they will know exactly the address from which you are calling this number starting next month.

“Sometimes you may have a problem and you cannot speak on the phone but when you call the police, they will know that there is an emergency at this particular number and they will come.”

“We brought the number 112 when we came into office. Ghana is now one of the few countries in the world with this technology in place.”
