The Tain Government Hospital has made an urgent appeal for staff accommodation and a dedicated vehicle to support its goal of attaining regional hospital status and improving healthcare delivery.
During the hospital’s 2024 end-of-year meeting and the launch of its 60th-anniversary celebration, Medical Superintendent Dr. Philip Taah Amoako stressed the pressing need for better working conditions for healthcare workers.
He noted that the lack of adequate housing for staff near the facility affects their well-being and, ultimately, the quality of patient care.
Dr. Amoako also highlighted the need for a dedicated vehicle to facilitate staff transportation and enhance service delivery. He emphasized that achieving regional hospital status requires significant investment and called on the Ministry of Health, government agencies, and stakeholders to support the hospital’s expansion efforts.
Alexander Gyan Kwabena, the district’s Health Promotion Officer, echoed the call for intervention, underscoring the need for additional healthcare personnel to improve service delivery.
The Tain District has long struggled with healthcare challenges, including inadequate infrastructure and limited resources.
Health officials and community members remain hopeful that authorities will respond promptly to address these pressing concerns.
