“Under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital Maternity and Children’s Block building, which had been stopped for forty-one (41) years, has been officially revived, and work is going steadily.”
We are also completing two district hospital projects in Fomena and Kumawu, which were inherited from the predecessor Government” he added
He informed the audience that work on the construction of district hospitals in Offinso and Effiduase, as well as the completion of Maternity Blocks at Tafo and Kumasi South Hospitals, and the construction of a residential facility at Abrepo for Kumasi South Hospital, will begin very soon.
“As part of my tour of Ashanti, I will, on Wednesday, inspect ongoing work on the construction of a Trauma Hospital at Obuasi, which is being undertaken by Universal Hospital Group,” he stated.
President Akufo-Addo announced the opening of the Asante Akim Hospital in Konongo as part of the “Ghana Hospital Project,” which was launched by the Kufuor Government in 2008 and is being carried out by the Egyptian firm EUROGET De-Invest S.A.
