The Minister of Health, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, has assured staff of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) that the government will ensure their concerns are addressed.
The minister gave the assurance when he toured some health facilities in the Ashanti region.
He inspected the ongoing work at the Komfo Anokye Maternity and Children’s Block, which has a capacity of 506 beds.
The Chief Executive Officer of KATH, Prof. Otchere Addai Mensah, indicated that the facility was facing challenges that were hampering its effectiveness.
These challenges included congestion and a lack of adequate equipment.
Responding to these concerns, the minister said his ministry will collaborate with the management of the hospital in addressing the challenges.
“I think that we have a lot of work to do so that we can quickly operationalise some of the facilities so that we see how it can serve not a marginal role but a significant role in decongesting this place.
“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 the retooling,” he said.
