Who to call
Emergency numbers that are actually published, plus water, hospital, castle and assembly contacts — verified against official sites.
Numbers verified against official websites on 11 June 2026. Where an office publishes no number we could confirm, we link the site instead of guessing — and say so.
112 is the number official sources publish
The older short codes — 191 for police, 192 for fire, 193 for ambulance — still circulate widely in Ghana, but we could not confirm them on an official page when we checked. The Ghana National Fire Service lists 112 as its emergency number, and UK government travel advice says to call 999 or 112 for an ambulance. Start with 112.
