Dr Isaac Antwi, the Medical Superintendent of Kyebi Government Hospital in the Eastern Region of Ghana, has disclosed that the hospital's oxygen plant has been out of service for over three years. This has forced hospital management to procure oxygen cylinders from Koforidua to support oxygen-dependent patients. Dr Antwi disclosed this information during a presentation of medical equipment to the hospital by Abuakwa South's Member of Parliament, Dr Kingsley Agyemang.
Kyebi Government Hospital, also known as Abuakwa South Municipal Hospital, serves as a major referral center for neighboring municipalities and districts in the Eastern Region, catering to hundreds of patients daily. The non-functioning oxygen plant has become a significant obstacle for medical staff, especially when treating patients who require oxygen support.
Dr Antwi estimated the cost of repairing the plant at GH¢500,000 and called on philanthropists, corporate organizations, individuals, and other well-meaning members of the public to assist in restoring the facility. The hospital is also working to secure a dialysis center, and construction of accommodation for health workers is underway in Asiakwa to address the acute accommodation challenges faced by medical personnel in the constituency.
