GOVERNMENT SIGNS AGREEMENT TO RE-EQUIP KATH

The Health Minister, Joseph Yieleh Chireh has called for the immediate installation of equipment at the Intensive Care Unit.
He said government has signed a 267 million dollars agreement with a Germany based Gertech to help re-equip the hospital
This development became necessary when equipment at the hospital broke down that led to six people dead at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital.

Earlier, Joseph Yieleh Chireh announced work is set to begin this month on a proposed regional hospital for Ashanti.
The 250-bed facility to be sited at Sawuah, on the Lake Bosomtwe Road, is expected to reduce pressure on Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
An estimated four million people in the Ashanti Region and those in other regions, as well as nationals of neighbouring countries rely on KATH for healthcare services resulting in extreme pressure on both facilities and personnel.
