Vice president Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has paid a working visit to the new University of Ghana Super Tertiary Hospital which is about 96 percent complete.
Addressing journalist after touring the facility, Mr. Amissah Arthur described the ongoing works as very impressive and a well laid out hospital which would help solve a lot of health issues.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur said the facility is a very unique medical centre that would help minimize the huge sums of money Ghanaians send outside the country to seek medical attention.
Professor Aaron Lawson the project coordinator took the Vice President around to inspect the facility.
The project when completed would have a quaternary hospital facility that is expected to provide a cutting edge medical training and research for various health professionals in the country.
It is also expected to provide sub specialist services in the following areas: Surgery, Radiology, (including interventional radiology), Internal Medicine, Pharmacy, Obstetrics, and Gynecology, (including Assisted Reproductive Technology) Pediatrics, Anesthesia, Medical Education (including a Robotic Simulation training) Accidents and Emergency Services, and Mortuary.
The University of Ghana Super Tertiary Hospital project was started under the late Mills’ administration with funding from Israel. The Mahama led administration has intensified works on the site and at the completion of the project; the structure is expected to have a grand total of 1000 beds.
