Construction works have commenced on a 120-bed Specialised Trauma and Emergency Hospital at Bole in the Savannah Region.
Accordig to the Minister for Government Communications, Felic Kwakye Ofosu, the contractors have moved to the site to begin work on the 16,000-square-metre facility, which is expected to strengthen access to specialised emergency and trauma care in the region.
The Minister made the announcement in a Facebook post on Thursday October 1.
He explained that the hospital will include a 24-hour Accident and Emergency Unit equipped with trauma resuscitation bays and emergency operating theatres.
He stressed that the facility will also have an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), High Dependency Unit (HDU) and specialised trauma wards to support the management of critically ill and injured patients.
Other planned components include a burns treatment unit, orthopaedic and surgical units, as well as imaging and diagnostic facilities.
The project is expected to provide dedicated infrastructure for the treatment of trauma cases and other medical emergencies, while expanding the capacity of the health system in the Savannah Region.
He concluded that the project when completed, the specialised hospital will provide residents in Bole and surrounding communities with access to emergency and trauma services without necessarily having to travel long distances for specialised care.
