President John Dramani Mahama is expected to cut the sod for three 160-bed Regional Referral Hospitals in the Oti, Savannah and Western North Regions in the coming weeks.
The three projects are expected to expand referral and specialised healthcare services in the regions and increase the capacity of the health system to handle patients requiring advanced care.
Government Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu announced the planned projects on Tuesday, September 22, while unveiling the architectural design for the proposed Oti Regional Referral Hospital.
According to the Minister, the hospitals form part of government’s plans to expand critical healthcare infrastructure and improve access to medical services across the country.
The facilities will serve as regional referral centres, providing additional capacity for specialised healthcare services to residents of the Oti, Savannah and Western North Regions.
The planned sod-cutting ceremonies will mark the commencement of construction works on the three hospitals.
The government had already provided for the commencement of regional hospitals in the three regions in the 2026 Budget as part of its plans to expand healthcare infrastructure. (mofep.gov.gh)
The announcement comes as government pursues a broader programme to improve healthcare infrastructure and expand access to specialised medical care across the country.
