Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, the Minister of Health, has assured staff at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) that the government will address their concerns. His comments came during a tour of health facilities in the Ashanti region.
During the visit, Prof. Otchere Addai Mensah, the Chief Executive Officer of KATH, outlined several challenges the hospital is facing, including congestion and a lack of adequate equipment. In response, Dr. Boye acknowledged these issues and pledged to work with the hospital management to resolve them.
“I think that we have a lot of work to do so that we can quickly operationalize some of the facilities so that we see how it can serve not a marginal role but a significant role in decongesting this place,” Dr. Boye stated. “So working together with KATH to address your challenges is in our interest… I want to give you the assurance that we will work speedily to help with the retooling.”
Additionally, Dr. Boye inspected the ongoing construction at the Komfo Anokye Maternity and Children’s Block, which will have a capacity of 506 beds.
