Member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health and Member of Parliament (MP) for Garu, Dr. Thomas Anaba, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to upgrading public health facilities nationwide to enhance quality healthcare delivery.
He made the remarks during the committee’s working visit to the Ho Teaching Hospital in the Volta Region, aimed at assessing healthcare infrastructure and service challenges.
The delegation included Arhin Prince Ebenezer, MP for Mfantseman, Alexander Hottordze, MP for Central Tongu; Charles Agbeve, MP for Agotime-Ziope and Acquah Akwesi Alexander, MP for Akim Oda.
Dr. Anaba emphasised the need for robust health systems to achieve meaningful health outcomes.
He noted that the visit would inform a comprehensive report to guide the government’s interventions in enhancing the conditions of public health facilities.
He also commended the hospital’s staff and management for their dedication, and assured them of government support in addressing key challenges impeding service delivery.
The Chief Executive Officer of Ho Teaching Hospital, Dr. John Tampouri, stated that this facility acts as a key referral center in the Volta Region and functions as a specialized training and research institute in partnership with the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS).
He called for greater governmental assistance, emphasizing the necessity for enhanced clinical facilities and the establishment of a center for medical education.
Dr. Tampouri emphasized the increasing number of patients at the hospital, the overfilled wards, and the escalating death toll as significant issues.
Despite these challenges, he said the hospital remains committed to its vision of becoming Ghana’s leading medical tourism hub, and called on all stakeholders for support in realising this goal.
