For his part, the Minister of Health, Mr. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, stated that the government was prioritising the completion of hospital projects, including those under the Agenda 111 programme.
He announced that effective April, all health facilities under the primary healthcare system would receive medical equipment procured by the government, a move he said would enhance healthcare delivery at no additional cost to the facilities. This includes mammogram and echocardiography machines, a dialysis centre, as well as the construction of an Infectious Disease Centre.
Mr. Akandoh further disclosed that under the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, the Sunyani Teaching Hospital was being retooled with modern equipment. These interventions, he emphasised, would strengthen the hospital's capacity to manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and improve overall healthcare delivery.
