President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Monday, November 25, 2024, opened four new 40-bed district hospitals in the Ashanti Region.
These hospitals are situated in Drobonso (Sekyere Afram Plains District), Sabronum (Ahafo Ano South-East District), Twedie (Atwima Kwanwoma District), and Suame (Suame Municipality).
A fifth hospital in Manso Nkwanta, located in the Amansie West District, has also been finished and will be inaugurated soon.
These hospitals are part of a national initiative started in 2020 to build 12 district hospitals and a polyclinic in the Ashanti, Eastern, Greater Accra, and Bono regions.
The project received funding of €71.5 million from Erste Group Bank AG and Česká Spořitelna a.s., and was carried out by VAMED Engineering GmbH from Austria.
Each hospital features a range of facilities, including Out-Patient Departments with consulting rooms, public health units, surgical theaters, maternity wards, and staff housing.
During the ceremony, President Akufo-Addo encouraged hospital staff and local communities to take good care of the facilities, highlighting the government’s dedication to improving healthcare infrastructure throughout the nation.
