On Monday, November 25, 2024, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the president of the Republic, officially opened four (4) of the Ashanti region’s five (5) district hospitals, each with 40 beds.
The Ashanti region has four district hospitals: Suame in the Suame Municipal; Twedie in the Atwima Kwanwoma District; Sabronum in the Ahafo Ano South East District; and Drobonso in the Sekyere Afram Plains District. In the Amansie West District, the district hospital in Manso Nkwanta is likewise finished but has not yet been put into operation.
It will be recalled that in 2020, the Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman Manu, broke the ground for work to commence on the construction of twelve 40-bed Hospitals in Ashanti, Eastern, Greater Accra regions and one Polyclinic at Mim, in the Brong Ahafo region.
Constructed by VAMED Engineering GmbH of Austria, the other areas where these hospitals have been built across the country include Jumapo, Kwabeng, Nkwatia, Achiase, Adukrom, Mim and Kpone Katamanso.
A €71,500,000 Euro facility was secured from Erste Group Bank AG and Česká Spořitelna a.s towards the construction and equipping of these 40-bed hospitals, which also includes 12-units of 2-bedroom semi-detached accommodation for hospital workers at each of the facilities.
In addition to the residential accommodations for hospital employees, the hospitals have two offices for public health officers, a waiting room for 36 people, three prenatal consultation rooms, a counseling room, and an outpatient department with the necessary consultation rooms.
A surgical suite, an eight-bed pediatric ward, an eight-bed male ward, an eight-bed female ward, four labor delivery stations, an eight-bed maternity ward, a four-bed lying-in, and a two-bed recovery room are all included in the theater’s facilities.
In order to fulfill the government’s pledge to improve the health of all citizens of the nation by enhancing the infrastructure for health care, President Akufo-Addo asked the personnel and residents of the areas to make sure that the facilities are properly managed and maintained.
