General Corporal Isaac Opoku Asumam has become the second Police officer to benefit from the Police Emergency Medical Intervention Fund (PEMIF).

Corporal Asumam was flown to New Delhi, India, for medical attention under the GHS6.1 Million fund following the amputation of his left leg.

He was accompanied by an Orthopedic Surgeon at the Police Hospital to fix a new prosthesis leg.

Corporal Asumam returned to Ghana on Wednesday, 15 June 2022, after a successful surgery.

He was knocked down by a taxi on Monday, 26 April 2021, while on an anti-robbery duty within the Accra Metropolis.
