The Parliamentary Select Committee on Health is unhappy with the state of the Goaso Municipal Hospital in the Ahafo Region and has called for urgent support.
Their concern was expressed when they paid a working visit to inspect the facility and interact with staff.
In an interview with Adom News, Lambussie MP and committee member Titus Beyuo expressed deep concern that one of the referral hospitals in Ahafo lacks the facilities and modern equipment needed to provide quality healthcare.
He noted that while the hospital’s staff are highly qualified and dedicated, the lack of necessary facilities and equipment makes it impossible for them to perform as expected.
Dr. Beyuo has therefore appealed to the government and the Health Ministry pay maximum attention to the critical needs of the hospital.
He also took the opportunity to appeal to companies in the region, particularly the mining firms, to support the government in making the facility fully fit for purpose.
Speaking on behalf of the Goaso Municipal Hospital, the Medical Superintendent, Dr. James Ankomah, thanked the committee for visiting to assess their longstanding challenges, which have been impacting the quality of services provided to clients.
Dr. Ankomah expressed optimism that the committee would leverage their position to advocate for more facilities and equipment, enabling the hospital to deliver quality healthcare services to the people of Ahafo and beyond.
